Different countries had slaves; I am pretty sure that the laws - if there were any - varied depending on the country, and the time period.
Laws to regulate the treatment of slaves varied by time and region throughout history. Some laws aimed to protect slaves from extreme abuse, while others reinforced their status as property with limited rights. However, these laws were often insufficient in providing humane treatment or ensuring fair treatment of slaves.
Some laws included bans on teaching slaves to read and write, restrictions on slaves' movements, prohibition of interracial marriage, and fugitive slave laws that allowed for the capture and return of escaped slaves. Additionally, some states passed laws forbidding the manumission of slaves without legislative approval.
