Slaves were worth a lot of money because they can do a lot of work and many people wanted slaves to work under them, so slave trade increased and as that increased trade with Muslim merchants increased!!! AMAZING!!! If they (slaves) were in Africa, they were lucky because they had a little chance to escape to liberty. They had to work hard or marry a free person to be exposed to liberty!!!

Punishments were whipping (often 50 to 100 lashes), branding, ducking under water, getting put in stocks, slapping, kicking, tarring and feathering, and tying up. Run away slaves were chased by dogs, and when caught, were hit with paddles or whips or got a body part such as an ear cut off. Some slaves even died from these punishments. These punishments originated in England. No punishment was too harsh or too mean.

If the work was not done, the plantation did not make money, and the owner could not buy new slaves. Then finally the plantation would fall apart.
