But of course these people were slaves, so they couldn't just take a month off & go into town for hookers & 40's. But overall they were treated very humanely, about as humane as you can get having slaves.

Your wrong. It was against the law to teach a black person to read in most southern states. If they were found with a book they would get whipped in public.
