"Malingering" was the enslaving owner's term for a Black person who they believed was faking illness. Plantation physicians often recommended treatments of "veiled medical violence" to jolt the person out of fakery and back to work. The majority of doctors and plantation owners never considered that the deplorable conditions of enslavement actually contributed to, or caused genuine illnesses. Laziness was always the reason for "malingering' in their estimation--at least until the person fell dead. This is not to say that the enslaved did not use "malingering" at times to gain time to plan an escape. (See pages 30-31 in Harriet A. Washington's, "Medical Apartheid-The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" for details).
The term "cracker" was initially used to refer to poor white farmers in the southern United States. It later became associated with slave owners as a derogatory term implying arrogance or a certain type of behavior. Some historians suggest it may have stemmed from the cracking of whips by slave owners.
Slave cruelty refers to the systemic violence, abuse, and dehumanization inflicted upon enslaved individuals by slaveowners. This included physical punishments such as whipping, branding, and torture, as well as psychological and emotional abuse to maintain control and instill fear. Slave cruelty was a fundamental aspect of the institution of slavery and was used to assert power and maintain the exploitative nature of the system.
Scotland's involvement in the slave trade was through its participation in the British Empire, which heavily profited from the trade in enslaved people. Scottish merchants and shipowners were involved in transporting enslaved Africans to the Americas, and there were also plantations owned by Scots in the Caribbean that relied on enslaved labor. Scotland has since acknowledged its role in the transatlantic slave trade and has taken steps to address this collective responsibility.
There is historical evidence that some slave owners in the 19th century may have provided their slaves with medicinal drugs, including cocaine, as a form of treatment. However, it was not a widespread practice and varied depending on the individual owner.
The term "cracker" as a racial slur likely originated from the cracking of whips by white slave owners on plantations, with "cracker" being used to refer to poor white farmers in the South. Over time, the term has been used pejoratively to refer to white people in a derogatory manner, although its usage and offensiveness can vary based on context and intent.
No. The Chesapeake Insurrection of 1730 was not a slave revolt. Slave revolts were very uncommon as it was not easy to put together such a plan considering the conditions in which they lived.
