What happened to slaves who ran away?

Some slaves who ran away were recaptured and returned to their owners. They might be punished by whipping or by cutting off part of an arm, leg, hand or foot. however, their economic value often limited the damage inflicted. Some slaves who ran away died while running (drowned or other accidents) or while resisting recapture. Some slaves who ran away got away, to the northern states or to Canada, and made new lives for themselves. However, even when in the northern states, there were times when an escaped slave might be returned south to slavery. A few escaped slaves returned south on their own to help others get away, and some of those were captured and executed or enslaved.


How did whites treat the slaves?

Most of the whites treated the slaves horribly. Some treated them fair, but most treated them horribly. They weren't treated like the whites, there were basically treated like dirty rags. The slaves were taken away from their families and never saw them again unless they were freed or ran away. When slaves ran away the got caught. The slave owners killed the slaves by beating them to death.. Nobody wants to be treated like that. They even had little kids working as slaves, the kids only got two shirts a year, and if they got worn out they wouldnt have to go bare naked. Life wasn't easy as a slave.
