Slave owners worked them to the extreme basically because they didn't care. Their opinion was, "Hey, I'm already turning in an enormous profit so what's one less slave?" Slave owners unfortunately thought of the slaves as property, not people. Replacements were arriving at the ports weekly so a few deceased ones didn't matter. Slavery is definitely one of America's saddest chapters in history due to the sheer number of deaths.
