Why was seasoning never completely successful in slavery?

Seasoning was never completely successful in slavery because it aimed to acclimate enslaved people to harsh conditions and break their resistance, but many individuals resisted through various means, including work slowdowns, escape attempts, and even rebellion. Additionally, the trauma of separation from their families and cultures often resulted in psychological resistance that could not be easily overcome. The high mortality rates during the seasoning process also meant that many enslaved people did not survive long enough to be fully "seasoned." Ultimately, the inherent human spirit of resilience and resistance made complete success in seasoning unattainable.
