Slaves faced severe oppression, including forced labor, physical abuse, and limited freedoms.
There are many statements about the treatment of slaves that are not correct. For instance it would not be true to say that slaves got preferential treatment from their masters.
Slaves were considered property by law, not as individuals with legal rights or personhood. They did not have the freedom to make decisions about their own lives and were subject to the will of their owners.
Abolitionists who were caught with slaves could face fines, imprisonment, or even violence from pro-slavery groups or individuals. In some cases, they risked their lives to assist escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad.
Factors that controlled slaves' lives included their owners or enslavers, who dictated their daily tasks, living conditions, and punishments. Additionally, laws and social norms upheld slavery, restricting their movement and preventing autonomy. Fear of violence and separation from their families also played a significant role in controlling their lives.
The children of slaves born in states where slavery was legal were considered slaves themselves. They were considered the property of their owners and subject to the same laws and treatment as their parents. Many were forced into labor, sold, or remained enslaved for their entire lives.
Killing your own slaves was not a crime.
