Answer 2

Answer: A master would punish slaves, and slaves would live in small, stick houses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Peculiar Institution as slavery was known in the South was a gruesome one where masters used various means to ensure that their enslaved people were subjugated and feared them (masters) enough to carry out orders without hesitation.

They would beat and punish their enslaved people for offences whether bog or small or sometimes just because they felt like it and as an added measure, forced their enslaved people to live in small stick houses that offered few amenities.
