The daily routine for plantation slaves was marked by labor from sun-up to sun-down, from "can see to can't see" in the slave's lingo. They worked everywhere on the plantation; in the fields and in the Big House, in the barns and in the quarters. Because they had to make the crop and raise food for the entire plantation community, there was little slack time. Flogged or threatened with beatings if they slowed up even the slightest bit, their toil was relentlessly oppressive. And when they returned to their quarters, there remained still more domestic chores that had to be done at night.
