I am not sure but I do know they picked cotton plants made shirts did the laundry ( laundry wasn't a piece of cake! ) If they don't do their jobs they were most likely to be smacked. Poor slaves

-

They did pretty much ALL the work!

Anything that had to be done around the house, on the farm and in the fields. Cooking, cleaning, sewing, washing, sowing, harvesting, plowing etc. etc. etc.

A refusal to do the work they were told to do, not only meant the risk of the master whipping them, but they could even be killed. The owner could do what ever he pleased with his slaves and if he thought one was not doing his job well, he could decide to sell him to another master and send him far away from his parents or wife and children!
