Why did plantation owners punish enslaved people

Normally such punishment was used to force them to work, but the lash was also employed for a range of offences

If it wasn't done to the slave owners like they would punish the slaves until done right, it was more of a beating then punishment, if their was a mess up anywhere they would be beaten with a belt, whip, or a stick

the map that was shown mostly had eastern asia highlighted. the answer would mostly likely be "the spread of communism into eastern asia set the stage for the korean war."

hopefully this .
