What led to a tenant farmer being treated like a slave?
Tenant farmers were sometimes treated like slaves due to exploitative landowner practices, such as unfair contracts, high rent, or abusive working conditions.

This vulnerability could result in tenant farmers being subject to harsh treatment similar to that experienced by slaves.

Many slaves were treated like property in the south. They were forced to work in the fields for the entire day, from the morning to the evening.

What determined how many slaves could be carried on a slave ship?
The size of the ship, the conditions for transporting slaves, the regulations in place, and the profits that could be gained all influenced how many slaves could be carried on a slave ship.

Who did the Peasants of the middle ages include?
Peasants are small farmers and farm workers. In western Europe, a few of the peasants were slaves. This was not common, as the Church moved, from time to time, to end slavery, getting success in some places. In many countries of the West, most slaves were criminals, who were being punished by being made slaves, but in the East, most slaves were people who were captured. Slavery was banned in England by King Henry I. Many of the peasants were serfs, who were bound to the manors they lived on and could not legally move away. The other side of this is that they could also not be made to move away just because the lord wanted to get rid of them - it was a mutual obligation. The serfs were organized by supervisors to do common work for the lord and on common land. In England, the supervisor was called a reeve, and was a serf appointed or elected to the job. Aside from their duties to the manor, the serfs were rather free. There were also serfs who were not peasants, but worked in fields other than agriculture. Some peasants were tenant farmers. They differed from serfs in that they were not tied to the land. They had leases, and paid money in rent. Some peasants were yeomen, who were small farmers who held their own land and did not pay rent. They did pay taxes and had military obligations to the king.

Why were peasants sent to Australia?
Peasants were not sent to Australia, Britain sent convicts to Australia from 1788 to about 1868. However the mainstream of population buildup was from free migration. To assist this, land was sold at 1 pound an acre, and these funds were used by the colonies to subsidise immigration. Many of the immigrants/settlers became small farmers, and as peasants are small farmers, they could be called peasants, however that is a word more appropriate to the middle ages than the modern era.
