They were butchered by the squads and battalions. They drowned them and rivers and threw them off cliffs. Also they were killed by ex-convicts who crucified them and burn them alive. So basically anyone who was being killed was being killed for fun by the ex-convicts, squads, and the…

In some cases, few slaves even became plantation owners themselves, employing indentured and convict labor, white as well as black.
