Power & Authority
If slaves tried to fight back or even if they talked back they would die or be beaten extremely bad. Plantation owners owned them.
Slaves had no kind of power and authority because they were seen as toys for people to use to force and do work for. All because they were a different color and they knew how to grow crops and all that stuff that white people needed.
They had no control in how many hours they had to work or what time they get up to work or even their food. English people hated them and gave them no kind of rights or say in what they wanna do with their life.
