What kind of hardships did the slaves suffer at the hands of the slave

1.	What kind of hardships did the slaves suffer at the hands of the slaveholder and his mistress?ORWhat were the difficulties faced by mulatto children?ORAs mulatto children, what wrath did the black slaves incur of their white mistress?
Answer» The mistress always found fault with the slaves, particularly the mulatto children, and ensured that they came under the lash. Whenever she suspected her husband of showing extra favours to his mulatto children which he withheld from other black slaves, her anger was even more and she compelled her husband to sell this class of slaves. If he didn’t, the master had to whip such slaves himself or see one of his sons tie up and beat up his brother. Thus we see that the slaves suffered unbearable hardships at the hands of the slaveholder and his mistress, and if the master happened to be the father of the slave, the plight of such a slave was even worse.
