Really a far fetched question, like, what if we had Phasers, Warp drives, and Teloportation tomorrow?
But here is my shot at it.
1800’s +, and Slaves. If they could have a gun, I would guess 90% of them, would shoot, Squirrels/Ducks/Pheasants/Deer, for a supplement to their meals. Same people, would also shoot, Copperheads/Water Moccasins/ Rattle Snakes, to make their life easier.
10%, would, tell their owner, “Hey You gotta Treat us Better”.
Despite what one is told. Think of this, ’then, Slaves’ were Chattel. How do you treat them, Very Good, if, ‘YOU’, want to make money. Just like you would have treated your Horses. You House them in good places, you feed them well, and you take care of them. (Again if you want to make money)
If you beat the heck out of your Horses/Slaves, (Which certainly some did, just like today) You would have, NOT, been as successful as, the next Plantation over.
