No, not always. Some slave owners, at least according to the historical account, treated their slaves well. Actually, slaves were USUALLY treated fairly humanely because they were valueable property. They certainly didn't have any luxuries, but they got their basic necessities like food, shelter and medical care. Just as a farmer keeps his tractor serviced regularly, it is more economical to keep your production "equipment" in good working condition than to purchase new. There were also laws that required a slave's owner to continue to provide for him after he was too old, sick, or injured to work. The thing to remember is that the slave had to always be at full working capacity. That means you couldn't injure, overwork or starve them. In some instances slaves stayed on after slavery was abolished but this time they worked for a wage.

How were slaves treated good or bad?
slaves are always treated badlyAnswer:Many ancient civilizations had codified the treatment of slave. The bible (a Christian Holy Book) defines who may be enslaved, how they must be treated, how long they could be held as slaves, punishments for mistreating slaves, etc.). In the American South the popular view is that slaves were always mistreated. Slaves were however valuable property and a wise owner had to strike a balance between protecting his investment and output. In today's world where slavery still exists (for labour, soldiers or as sexual objects) slaves are often "free" to the taker and are used as disposable items.
