Represented colonial participation in government
During colonial times, the colonies had no representation in Parliament. They had no members in either the House of Lords or the House of Commons. Their only presence in England before the Revolution was Benjamin Franklin who was there, not as a member of Parliament, but as a representative of only Pennsylvania to promote Pennsylvania's economic interests. Later on, some but not all colonies hired him to represent their interests in England as well. But in doing so he was looked upon as a representative of all colonies.
The slaves were farmers and helped out around the house.
