Masters treated their slaves really horrible and they would do it because they THOUGHT they could. The owners would whip the slaves for no apparent reason, and if a slave was taught to read or write a slave owner would cut off his\her toes, then fingers, then any other body parts the 'master' thought the slaves didn't need.
