They grew food crops for themselves, the owners, and the work animals. Cotton, rice, timber, and maybe more food crop was grown to sell and enrich the plantation owner.

They had to work from the early morning to the dark of the night. They had to work on the crops for the day and would get whipped sometimes even for no reason!
