Most slaves had to work from sunrise to sunset. Some owners made their slaves work everyday, others allowed slaves one day off a month and some allowed their slaves to have Sundays as a rest day. Slaves would spend their free time mending huts, making pots and pans and relaxing. Some plantation owners allowed slaves a small plot of land to grow things to supplement their diet. Slaves were not allowed to read or write but some were allowed to go to church.
