I'll base this answer on the assumption that the question refers to the South before the US Civil War.
Slaves, were for the most part, workers on the large cotton & tobacco plantations. In the South, the weather is hot & humid so the work was hard. Additionally slaves had household duties, more so for female slaves, and slaves also tended the horses & other livestock herds of their owners. Once again the work was not easy & in many situations slaves were beaten. However, this could be done only on a selective basis as a slave owner needed well fed & healthy slaves to toil in the fields.
