Explanation:

Historical context shows that enslaved people who rebelled against plantation owners in the 1800s faced severe repression. Plantation owners used harsh punishments (e.g., whippings, sale away from families, even death) to maintain control, as enslavement relied on suppressing resistance. The other options (freedom, homes, payment) are contradictory to the reality of slavery.

They received harsh punishments.
