How did owners treat their slaves?

Slaves were punished with a variety of objects and instruments(whips, etc).The treatment of slaves depended completely on their "owners".


What was life on a southern plantation?

Slaves would have to wake up early in the morning to eat breakfest. After the sun came out, they would go straight to the fields and cultivate whatever the plantation owner had chose to grow. They would work from dawn to dusk, with very little rest time. If a slave seemed to be slacking off, the overseer would come the slave and whip him/or her until he/or she would get back to work. Children also worked in the field, alongside with their parents. Because of poor living conditions, many slaves would get seriously ill. Many also had poor hygiene. By the age of 14, many slave children would have rotten teeth. 1/10 slaves would live past the age of 40. The slaves were given shacks to live in and parcels of food, and that's what kept most of the slaves alive. A dead slave would do no good to the slave master.
