27 hours a day
I should imagine slaves were up at the crack of dawn as were most people in ancient times. There was no electricity so as much work as possible had to be done in daylight.

a slaves day looks like this they do work all the time
Slaves often had limited time for sleep, as they were forced to work long hours in the fields or in homes. Due to the demanding work schedules imposed upon them by their enslavers, slaves typically had only a few hours of rest per night. Many were also required to work on tasks or chores during the night, further cutting into their opportunities for sleep.
Slaves did not have activities that they could do in their free time in the same way that other people did. They were slaves to their owners, and were forced to do grueling work throughout the day.
around 10 dollarts at the time.
Most slaves in the time of the 13 colonies lived on the Plantations. They were needed because harvesting requiered strenuous work, so most slaves spent mos of their time in the feild tending to mostly tabacco. During this time the christians did not oppose slavery because they told themselves that the slaves were not Christians so it was ok to make them work.
Slaves were often required to finish work before dark as it was difficult to work in the fields at night without proper lighting. Additionally, completing work before sunset ensured that the slaves had enough time to rest and prepare for the next day of labor.
so they wont do the work
The overseers did, the plantation ownesr would hire them to watch over the slaves because the themselves had no time to.
