c. It was difficult for slaves to acquire education to enable their liberty as it was made illegal for anyone to educate them in reading and writing.

d. Inhuman punishments were meted out to slaves by whipping, branding, imprisonment, mutilation, and various abuses.

Many white people today still regard blacks as black in blood, and therefore, inhuman. The proof of this was the trading of slaves and the enactment of slave codes, which were laws that legalized and justified slavery in people's consciences.
