Best Answer

Plantations were similar to small villages in the fact that they were also small communities. Hundreds of African American slaves would live in rows of shack like houses on the grounds of the plantation and would each help out to keep each other surviving. Slaves with certain skills would use those skills to help out other slaves who didn't posses the same skills, ex. someone with training as a medic. This is similar to the way communities in small villages are.
