What was life like for slaves on plantations
Life on the fields meant working sunup to sundown six days a week and having food sometimes not even suitable for an animal to eat. Plantation slaves lived in small shacks with a dirt floor.

The stories about cruel overseers were  true in some cases. The overseer was paid to get the most work out of the slaves; so the  overseers often resorted to whatever was necessary.

Large plantations often required some slaves to work in the plantation home.  Domestic slaves lived in better quarters and received better food. They sometimes were able to travel with the owner's family. Domestic slaves did not often associate themselves with plantation slaves.
