Question 104
The following questions refer to the following excerpt.

"Although slavery 'worked' very well as an economic system, its fundamental conflict of interests created an unstable and violent society. . . . Many [planters] provided professional medical care, offered monetary rewards for extra productivity, and granted . . . Christmas vacation. . . . Yet . . . these same . . . plantations in the Deep South were essentially ruled by terror. Even the most kindly and humane masters knew that only the threat of violence could force gangs of field hands to work from dawn to dusk. . . . Frequent public floggings reminded every slave of the penalty for inefficient labor, disorderly conduct, or refusal to accept the authority of a superior."
