Enslaved individuals on plantations often worked in various roles, including field hands who cultivated and harvested crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. Others served as house slaves, performing domestic duties such as cooking, cleaning, and caring for the planter's family. Some enslaved people held positions as skilled laborers, like blacksmiths or carpenters, while others worked in the plantation's gin or mill. Additionally, certain enslaved individuals acted as drivers or overseers, managing the work of other enslaved people under the supervision of the plantation owner.
