The slaves attempted to achieve amelioration (getting better conditions for themselves) because they had very harsh conditions and abuse. they could have also been rebelling to gain freedom or it could be that because some slave masters were extremely evil and barbaric that they were punished for minor offences such as answering back to a slave master or slave driver.

Slaves were killed or whipped as a form of punishment for disobedience, resistance, trying to escape, or for not meeting production quotas set by their owners. It was a way for slave owners to maintain control and assert their authority over the slaves.
