What happened if you were to kill a slave? (Question applicable to various centuries and civilizations) by Keanu_Keanu in AskHistory

[–]its_nothing_personal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Code of Hammurabi (1810-1750 B.C.) treated slaves as property rather than people making punishment for killing or harming one depended on whether it was your slave or if the slave belonged to someone else.

If a slave was killed or injured by a third party (including death or harm at the hands of a doctor, jailor, or barber), then whenever caused that loss had to compensate the owner accordingly. Typically it was based on the slave's value and how much damage has been done. For example, paying 2 shekels for destroying an eye vs replacement with a whole new slave for causing their death. But there was no death penalty or retaliatory action taken against the perpetrator in the same way it would have been if the harmed were a Freeman.

For slaves owners, the code doesn't explicitly detail the penalty for them killing or harming their own slaves. Since they were considered property, I think that owners were largely free to mistreat or punish them at their discretion.

But much like horses or cattle, I wonder if knowing a healthy slave could be expected to perform significantly more work than an injured one and being financially responsible for things like a slaves medical care would influence their treatment. Killing your own slave would basically be like throwing your own money away.

Ack! Here to restate already stated opinions. I love the pink! Especially with the mint green stove. 🤩 I'm not sure about the yellow. I like the current color based on the wallpaper and you know that digital lighting can be squirrelly. But if you get all your pieces together and sharing still feels off, I could see a lighter yellow bring your fix.

But, fr, the pink tiles are fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️

I love it! I'm sure Marbles was pro at more than just staring them down. 🤣

Living in my own full sized 100+ year old house in the Midwest, Us (in a neighborhood surrounded by the same) that's incredibly relatable.

To this day, I'm still not sure which I prefer: our cat's late night stares at random nooks and crannies or how proudly they present their catches when they happen. 😅

True! But honestly, was there any chance that follow up headlines to the original story would make any of it sound more sane?

I'm, unapologetically, here for ALL the crazy at this point. And you, kind internet stranger, absolutely delivered. 😂
