Many things happened I´m just going to list the jobs and descriptionsField hands Slaves who labored in the plantation fields. They commonly were used to plant, tend, and harvest cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco.House slavesDuties such as cooking, cleaning, serving meals, and caring for children.

Slavery Started in the 1600s but didn't gain force until the late 1700s. The first slaves were in Jamestown and they were brought by Dutch traders. The slaves were treated more like indentured servants. they mainly worked on farming tobacco at the beginning of slavery.As time passed the number of slaves increased, by the 17 & 18 century the slaves worked on tobacco, rice, and indigo in plantations in the south. Slavery continued all the way up to 1865.

slavery was cheap labor for the south and they didn't pay the slaves so they could get the crops and not pay for the labor .The south didn't wanna lose that.
