Overseers watched over the slaves to make sure they were doing work up to par and the standards he saw fit so the crops would be taken care of properly. If not he would (most likely) whip the offender or use some other method of punishment. Some overseers may have not used such means and not have been reactionary types but this personality is the one most depicted in popular culture.
