Best Answer

Slaves could not do anything the masters told them not to do.

By law in most places, slaves could not travel at night. They could not go more than a certain distance (one mile or so) from the owner's property without permission. They could not vote, own land, own guns. They could not marry without permission and could never have any guarantee of living with their family.
