It was okay some slaves did not like being a slave they got whipped, hung,beat. so it wasn't really that fun but they danced sang worshiped god and celebrated that was the only fun part about being a slave. and they weren't allowed to read because the slave owners thought that if they read they would get smart and come up with a smart plan to escape.

ViviBeing a slave was a harrowing experience characterized by oppression, brutality, and dehumanization. Slaves were forced to work long hours under harsh conditions, subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and denied basic human rights such as freedom and autonomy. It was a life filled with suffering and exploitation.
It was a cruel time where someone was a property of some one and was a item that could be sold and re sold over and over again. They where treated so unfairly
Not very nice, most of the time, being deprived from liberty and having to do work for a master... You may want to read Alex Haley's work Roots: The Saga of an American Family to get an idea.

Why would a slave owner want a slave who had lost hope?
A slave owner may want a slave who had lost hope because they would be less likely to resist or attempt to escape. A slave who has lost hope may also be easier to control and manipulate, making them more compliant and submissive. Additionally, a slave with no hope may be seen as less of a threat to the slave owner's authority and power.
How would you feel if you were an owner of a slave?
If I was a slave owner I would give the slave respect and I wouldn't make them do work I would treat them like a regular person.
What is a ideal slave?
The concept of an "ideal slave" is unethical and not acceptable. Slavery in any form is a violation of human rights and dignity. All individuals should be treated with respect and as equals, free from exploitation or oppression.
How would you feel if you were a slave?
Probably not all that different to how I feel now. I consider myself a slave; I always have done. I am in a consentual Master/slave relationship (a totally different thing to legal slavery).
