Slaves who refused food could face punishment such as physical beatings or other forms of abuse to force compliance or submission. They could also be subjected to harsher working conditions or further deprivation as a means of control.

How were slaves fed on ships?

For the crew and captains of Middle Passage boats, food supply for the slaves was a nuisance, as well as a necessity. Because so much food was needed to feed the slaves in the over packed boats, some captains did not want to waste the boat space on food, but rather on slaves, and so they brought far too little food on the voyage. This low supply of food also created a problem- too many slaves would die of starvation if there was not enough food to feed them. The Portuguese had laid down precise regulations in the amount of food need for the journey of a slave vessel, and for a time those rules were maintained. The Law of 1684 emphasized these regulations. However captains bound for Rio from Luanda or Benguela in Angola often refused to buy what was needed. Food was certainly under supplied.

Why did the eatons bring horses on their boats rather than slaves?

This would have been done mostly if they were travelling to an unknown place. Horses would provide transport and food, where as slaves would have needed food which would have taken up more cargo room. Horses can forage for food in most anyplace and if they became lame or injured could be killed for food, leather, and other provisions.
