Slaves
Black People Forced Beyond Their Will
Their Jobs
Slaves had two types of jobs; house work and feild work. They worked from sunrise to sunset and didn't have Sundays off because they have to cook for the families.
Black Slave Owners
Black slave owners would buy and rent black slaves that were friends or relatives to help protect them. They were not allowed to release them as slaves so they held them at nominal slaves.
Punishments
Slaves were very resticted. They were often abused for not pleasing their owners. They were whipped, drowned, beat and abused brutally.
Field Work
Many slaves worked in the field from day to night picking cotton and growing crops.
House Work
They cooked and cleaned and also had to take care of the white children.
