Answer 2

Whipped Slaves

Answer 3

Slaves Being Whipped

Answer 4

Let's leave the slavery issue aside for a moment and use logic to separate the two issues you've mentioned: does a slave have human rights and whipping.

First, whipping.
If a person commits a crime and the legal punishment for that crime is whipping, then a person guilty of that crime is whipped to fulfill justice.

If a country's legal system has different punishments for the same crime depending on a person's status (married, unmarried, child, adult, slave, free, sane, insane) then the punishments should be carried out fairly or the citizens develop apathy and mistrust in their government.

However, if a whipping is adminstered capriciously without a punishable crime commited, or as an example so other people/slaves won't "step out of line", that is wrong because that is not an appropriate use of whipping.

Notice I am not making a judgement call about slavery here... just talking about whipping. I believe that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Now the slavery and human rights issue. Personally I believe slavery is immoral and denies basic human rights to whomever is being enslaved and considered as someone else's property. Throughout the centuries, some groups have considered themselves superior to others, and thus justified owning and deluded themselves into mistreating "lesser" groups.

Unfortunately, no ancient culture's moral/religious codes considered slavery to be wrong. Even early Christianity, with its insistence that all groups were equal in God's sight, allowed for the existance of slavery and expected slaves to act appropriately so their masters would come to worship Christ, and for masters to treat their slaves fairly. The idea was for slavery to work itself out of business when masters freed their slaves.

Slavery continued until the Emacipation Proclamation (in the USA) for the same economic and social reasons it had always continued.

Answer 5

They were slaves they did not have rights. They were beaten and tortured physically and mentally. Maybe someone should whip you like a slave and you will see which of your rights are denied.

Answer 6

I guess you are trying to be ironic or make a morbid joke, there was no human rights at the time as there are not any in some countries, The catholic Church, having many slaves itself to work the extensive land they posses ed, had to justify the abuse of the slaves. The Church decided that the blacks were not human, they were animals with human form and they didn't have a soul so it was o.k to treat them as animals without breaking any of Jesus teachings, what a joke.

Answer 7

All their rights

Answer 8

They had no rights what so ever, because they were slaves, and come under the property rights, such as they were.

Answer 9

The rights to a life of liberty and the pursuit of happiness....

What kind of a person would ask this question?

Answer 10

Um, the right to not be whipped?
