Well, for starters:

1) As chattel property, slaves were liable to be sold, traded, etc without their consent;

2) Slaves were unable to enjoy legal freedom of movement to any state in the Union;

3) Slaves were unable to legally own property;

4) Slaves were unable to legally marry (and be legally entitled to the benefits that flowed by a legal marriage);
