Answer:

Slaves were usually forced to dance on the deck for a long time when they didnt want toeveryday to keep them fit. Any resistance to not dance was dealt with harshly by floggings from the crew. Some slaves wanted to kill themselves. There are accounts of slaves drowning by throwing themselves overboard rather than enduring any more. It was very rough for them :(
