Why were slaves treated bad?
Slaves in the south were treated poorly because they often disobeyed their owners by refusing to work.
Were owners mean to slaves?
Many were - and the worst ones tended to be downriver in Mississippi. (Hence the fear of being 'sold down the river') Others who were highly respectable, like Robert E.Lee, treated slaves harshly because they thought blacks would abuse lenient treatment. Curiously, the Confederate President was a Mississippi landowner who treated his slaves so well that they didn't want their freedom.
How were slaves in the south treated during the civil war?
they were treated bad
How were the transatlantic slaves treated?
Atrociously.
How did whites treat the slaves?
Most of the whites treated the slaves horribly. Some treated them fair, but most treated them horribly. They weren't treated like the whites, there were basically treated like dirty rags. The slaves were taken away from their families and never saw them again unless they were freed or ran away. When slaves ran away the got caught. The slave owners killed the slaves by beating them to death.. Nobody wants to be treated like that. They even had little kids working as slaves, the kids only got two shirts a year, and if they got worn out they wouldnt have to go bare naked. Life wasn't easy as a slave.
