I would think if they were on a sugar plantation, they would eat sugar cane and might possibly find some type of nuts and berries available in the area. If the owners also had large gardens, they would receive some of the proceeds of sweet potatoes and other vegetables.
why are people willing to use children as slaves
At what age did female slaves begin to have children.
At birth.
Yes, of course. However, slaves probably did not eat as well as their owners.
Abandoned children in Rome were made into slaves, fathers had the right to sell their children as slaves, and slaves were also captured in wars and brought back to Rome to be sold.
Turkish child slaves, known as Janissaries, were recruited through the devshirme system and trained to become elite soldiers or administrators. Over time, some Janissaries gained power and influence within the Ottoman Empire, leading to a transformation from slaves to key figures within the empire. This shift occurred due to their loyalty, skills, and strategic positioning within the Ottoman hierarchy.
Slaves formed families and had children.
They too were slaves.
Some Neptunians like to find and sell human slaves. Because the slaves are all white, there is no kool-aid or fried chicken on Neptune. The Neptunians prefer to eat the infant slaves because they taste juicier. The retarded children are a delicacy and only the richest on the planet can afford them. During the winter months, there are parades in which everyone attempts to stab each other in the face. If they kill someone, they get to eat their brain.
slaves only ate one or to very small course meals a day
Despite the fact it was illegal, roman parents sometimes sold their children as slaves if they didn't like them. :(
