What kind of jobs do slaves have?

Answer 1

Slaves have all types of jobs depending on the society. When slavery existed in the United States, the slave trade depleted the farms of Africa. People in the United States wanted slaves who already knew how to farm. Where large plantations existed, the large plantations were self supporting units. The plantations manufactured everything they needed. The slaves learned to do everything that would be done in a small village. You may have heard of Gullah culture in South Carolina. The Gullahs were slaves. Their owners would leave them alone a large part of the year visiting the plantations when the cold weather had killed the mosquitoes. At all other times, The Gullah did all of the jobs necessary to keep a plantation running. They took care of the animals. They grew the food they needed to eat. They ran the blacksmith shop. Meanwhile, the planters went to their cottages in Newport, Rhode Island.
