their owners
Overseers or slave drivers were responsible for ensuring that slaves behaved on plantations. They were often employed by the slave owners and used physical or psychological coercion to maintain control over the enslaved individuals.
They were called overseers, who were responsible for supervising and managing the work of slaves on plantations. Overseers played a key role in maintaining discipline, enforcing rules, and maximizing productivity among the enslaved labor force.
Slave masters used various methods to control slaves, such as physical abuse, threats of punishment, and surveillance. They also implemented restrictive laws and curfews to limit the movement of slaves and prevent them from escaping. Additionally, slave masters separated families and communities to weaken bonds and discourage resistance.
In Georgia, slaves played a crucial role in the economy, working primarily in agriculture on plantations growing crops like rice, cotton, and tobacco. They also worked in domestic service, as artisans, and in other skilled trades. Additionally, slaves were expected to provide labor for construction and other manual tasks as needed by their owners.
The ex-slaves on plantations felt they had to secure their freedom by running away or seeking refuge in Union army camps. They also worked towards economic independence by searching for paid labor opportunities or establishing their own businesses.
Slaves were not sent to roundup citizens. Slaves were forcibly brought to the United States from Africa and other parts of the world to work on plantations and provide labor. The practice of rounding up citizens was not related to slavery but may have occurred in other historical contexts for different reasons.
The overseer, and on occasion the slaveholder, would check to make sure the slaves were doing what they were told to do.

I am not 100% sure but my educated guess is the Washington had the most slaves. Andrew Jackson is a possibility as is Zachary Taylor. Jefferson, Madison and Tyler all owned plantations worked by slaves, but I think theirs were smaller operations.
The big plantations or cash crop. The owners were lazy so they bought slaves. Later it became legal.
Allowing slaves to attend church served as a way for slave owners to control and monitor their behavior, promote obedience and submission through Christian teachings, and instill the idea that slavery was divinely ordained. It also provided some spiritual comfort and hope for slaves in the midst of their harsh living conditions.
I am not sure what you mean by "S" since that is not a number, so my answer will be general. Slaves were bought because the people who owned them wanted them to do the work on their plantations. Slavery has been around for thousands of years. The Greeks, Romans, Chinese all had slaves in the ancient world. Today, about 25 million people are kept in slavery as sex slaves or in some other form. Isis even has a manual on slavery.
sure
Slavery was more important to the southern economy than to the other regions is because the slaves they had had to work on plantations and made sure that the crops were harvested and replenished (grew again).
Not the slaves - that's for sure.
I'm sure there were SOME slaves who were treated nicely
Either cotton or sugar....not sure.
I am not sure. However, I do know that Argentina had Jewish white slaves.
