USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The treatment of slaves in the United States often included sexual abuse and rape, the denial of education, and punishments like whippings. Families were often split up by the sale of one or more members, usually never to see or hear of each other again.

Detailed explanation-2: -All slaves and their families were the property of their owners, who could sell or rent them out at any time. Their lives were harsh. Slaves were often whipped, branded or cruelly mistreated. Their owners could also kill them for any reason, and would face no punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Slaves had no rights at all, let alone legal status or personality. They couldn’t form relationships or families, and they couldn’t possess property. To all intents and purposes, they were simply the property of a certain owner, just like any other item of property-a building, a chair, or any other piece of property.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arguments in favor of slavery include deference to the Bible and thus to God, some people being natural slaves in need of supervision, slaves often being better off than the poorest non-slaves, practical social benefit for the society as a whole, and slavery being a time-proven practice by multiple great civilizations.
