Treatment of slaves in the United States
The treatment of slaves in the United States varied by time and place, but was generally brutal and degrading. Whipping and sexual abuse, including rape, were common. Teaching slaves to read was discouraged or prohibited (a prohibition unique to U.S. slavery), so as to hinder aspirations for escape or rebellion. In response to slave rebellions such as the Haitian Revolution or, in the United States, that planned by Denmark Vesey (1822) or that led by Nat Turner in 1831, some states prohibited slaves from holding religious gatherings without a white person present, for fear that such meetings could facilitate communication and lead to rebellion.
