Most slaves lived on plantations with 20 or more other slaves, or in the case of a small slave owner, had links with slaves nearby. Slave owners were supposed to house, feed, and clothe their slaves from infancy till death. Most slaves worked in the fields, though some of the women were used as house servants, wet nurses, or 'babysitters,' and the men as coachmen.
