I'm guessing your talking about Black American slaves due to the category this question is on. In a way you have answered your own question. By definition a slave doesn't get paid, however what they do get is shelter, food and the natural essentials. The reason why slaves didn't get paid is because they were seen as being less than human (3/5 of a white man by the US Constitution), so they didn't need money. They didn't really have anything to buy, the only real thing they would spend any money on would be alcohol. Slave owners wanted cheap labour, they provided slaves with the bare minimum to keep them alive and nothing more. Hope this has helped, Cpl.Vadera
