Slaves worked in plantations. They were also Blacksmiths, Fur trappers, Glassblowers, Tanners, Carpenters, Fishermen, Bakers, Carriage drivers, grooms, stonemasons and weavers. They were stripped of their rights and freedom, slaves were beaten, separated from their families, and worked continually.
