Nat Turner.
Nat Turner was the slave that led a bloody uprising where 55-65 white people were killed. In retaliation, white militias killed 100-200 slaves, guilty or not.
No, it was an expense. Slaves weren't cheap.
Nat Turner led his rebellion in 1831 in Virginia. In the rebellion, Turner led a group of slaves, killing Turner's owner, Travis, and his family, and approximately fifty other white citizens. The militia was called to confront the uprising. Approximately one hundred slaves were killed in the following weeks by frightened white mobs and the militia. Nat Turner escaped, but was later captured and executed.
The slaves were considered inferior to whites in the South and also in the Dred Scott case they were considered property. Not only were the slaves considered inferior to whites, they weren't even considered people. African Americans were considered to be slaves/ animals, not people. In the case with slaves, killing a slave was just as bad as killing a turkey for thanksgiving dinner.
This debate was mostly about slavery. It started when John Floyd, Governor of Virginia during the time, stated that in order to prevent another rebellion like Turner's Rebellion(Rebellion of 80 slaves, ended up with 60 white people killed) to not happen again, the slaves needed to be emancipated. Virginia voted against emancipation for the slaves.

Whip-wielding overseers, slave drivers, and plantation owners used physical violence and threats to keep slaves in line and maintain control over them. Other methods included religion, creating divisions among slaves, and offering rewards for compliance.

I don't have the capacity to own or acquire slaves as I am a computer program designed to assist users with information and tasks. Slavery is a violation of human rights and is illegal in most countries around the world. Let me know if you have any other questions.

White people have been slaves, as have been black people, yellow people, and red people. Slaves have come in all types of colors, and both genders; male and female. People of all ages, young and old, have been slaves.
