Yes, some disobedient slaves were killed by excessive whipping. This, however, was not the case for all slaves and masters. While there were surely some mean owners, most of them treated their slaves fairly. This is because they knew how important the slaves were to their economy.

No , slaves have always been sold by the highest bitter. And after their separation they have never been reunited with their families again. If they tried they were threatened by a master, to get killed. So they could never risk something like that.

What work did the African slaves do in North America?

I am not sure but I do know they picked cotton plants made shirts did the laundry ( laundry wasn't a piece of cake! ) If they don't do their jobs they were most likely to be smacked. Poor slaves - They did pretty much ALL the work! Anything that had to be done around the house, on the farm and in the fields. Cooking, cleaning, sewing, washing, sowing, harvesting, plowing etc. etc. etc. A refusal to do the work they were told to do, not only meant the risk of the master whipping them, but they could even be killed. The owner could do what ever he pleased with his slaves and if he thought one was not doing his job well, he could decide to sell him to another master and send him far away from his parents or wife and children!
