Thumb screws were used as a form of torture and punishment in slavery to discipline enslaved individuals by crushing their thumbs or extremities, causing extreme pain and permanent damage. This brutal method was employed by slave owners to assert control, instill fear, and prevent enslaved people from resisting or rebelling.
