What was life like on a plantation for a slave?

Answer:
The slaves had hard work to do, they had to get up at 4am to bring crops in from the plantations and they only had a 15 minute break. If they were late for work they would have been whipped. They worked very long hours, even the young children had to work long hours as well. The women what are pregnant had to work in till the baby is born. If the slaves didn't work hard enough they would be whipped by the overseer. At the end of the day, the slaves still had to do chores for the slave owner. They also had to prepare there own evening meals. Sometimes they were given pots and pans for cooking, but more often they had to make their own. They followed this routine everyday, apart from Sundays.
