Slave-owners demanded deference & punished dissent.
Seeing this, white infants presumed total authority over enslaved people
Slavery was also instilled through coercive control & terror.
If one slave owner was too lax that might lessen fear in the wider community. It would have *negative externalities*.
So, legislators not only allowed slave owners to beat & kill, they actually mandated punishment.
If a slave ran away in SC, the owner was 'required' to whip them publicly, with 40 lashes.
