They were most often whipped because they made a mistake in their work, but they were also whipped badly if they ran away
slaves were whipped for different reasons sometimes just out of pure cruelty other times to punish them for not doing their work in the fields, for stealing from the white man, for learning to read or write, for slacking on their day jobs, for trying to escape, for singing, for talking out of turn in front of the white man and sometimes they were whipped to show the other slaves what could happen if they were to misbehave.

How many times did Harriet Tubman get whipped?
Someone gave you the wrong idea. Slaves were not generally whipped. They were treated better than that. Their owners wanted their slaves to work for them with a minimum of fuss. You do not whip a horse or a dog if you want them to work for you. The only dogs that anyone whips are the dogs that fight in pits. Slaves that are whipped make lousy workers. Dogs that are whipped don't hunt. Horses that are whipped do not pull plows, or do not do a very good job of it. Instead, when your horse is sick, you call the vet, and when your slave is sick, you call the doctor. Your slave like your horse had an adequate diet. You got the good part of the ham, he got the stringy part. It was just as nourishing. You got the best strawberries. He got the ones with rotten spots. You had the big comfortable house. He had the small crowded cabin. Both had heat in winter. Only if he threatened you or tried to escape and was caught was he whipped. Otherwise, you treated him like you would any other prized work animal.

How white people treted black in the old days?
they whipped them for punishments and enslaved them to do plantation work, work around the house, work. anything that white people didnt want to do they would enslave or buy a slave from a slaveowner or slave merchant to do for them. white people also are now called "crackers" for cracking the whip on the "blackies". The above answer is incorrect. It is a common misconception that the slave master whipped the slaves while they were in the fields. The masters would promote the most competent slaves to the role of overseer, who would be in charge of keeping order on the plantation. The white plantation owner was far too rich or self-righteous to actually go out into the field and whip slaves. It was the higher ranking slaves that whipped the lower ranking slaves in order to receive better treatment from the plantation owner. Hence the term makes no sense. It was fellow black slaves who whipped the slaves. It would defeat the purpose of having slaves do your work for you if you if you were just going to be in the fields all day whipping them. Most extremely liberal textbooks try to paint a picture of an evil white plantation owner and master whipping their slaves, though this is completely inaccurate. And I am a liberal democrat, I am not trying to be racist or anything. This blatant misunderstanding is rather annoying.
