They were also not allowed to make their own decisions. The slaveholders had all power over them, which made the slaves really dependent over them. If a slave was to act out on them, the slave would be severely punished and tortured by the slaveholder. If a slave was to get married and have children (if allowed), the slave owners would not care to divide the slaves and have them sold. Which also gave the slave owners money after selling the
