Addendum 1

-by Brent Brooks

Punishments included a variety of techniques that overseers saw as effective. If the

whip did not suffice, overseers commonly would smoke their slaves. This meant the

slaves were placed in a smokehouse where conditions would be very hot and

uncomfortable. The smoke would make it hard for the slave to breathe and would be

tied up in the smokehouse for a long period of time. Slaves were branded just like

cattle. This was done as punishment as well as to mark the slave as the property of

a particular plantation. Slaves were also placed into barrels that had nails pounded

into it and then pushed down a steep hill causing the nails to stab the slave with

every rotation of the barrel

(http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USASpunishments.htm) .Slaves were often

bound by chains to the ground. They would be put in shackles to preventing escape.

Sometimes slaves were forced to walk on nineteenth century treadmills and whipped

to increase their pace. Many kinds of contraptions were placed on slaves as

punishment. A collar with iron rods sticking out from it was placed around a slave's

neck. At the end of the rods were bells. This contraption caused a huge amount of

discomfort to work due to its weight and made it impossible for a person to lay down

to sleep (http://cghs.dadeschools.net/slavery/antebellum_slavery/punishment.htm).
