Because of plantation system, the planters needed large numbers of agricultural laborers. Rather than pay wages, the planters thought it was more economical to own large numbers of slaves. Some were trained in needed skills: dress making, cooking, carpentry, blacksmithing, and some were taught to be hosehold servants as well as field hands. The planters owned the slaves. The slaves were considered chattels. They could be bought and sold as though they were livestock. Families could be broken up with different members being traded to separate families. Slavery was the product of agriculture on a vast scale run amok.
