Separation A lot of the families got split up either into groups or all alone. They separated the babies from the moms when they were a few weeks old so they wouldn’t have any emotions towards the parents.

Field Slaves They were called “ Field Hands” They usually worked from 6:00 A.M. to midnight. They picked the cotton while the children fed the chickens, kept the crows away and, much more.

House Slaves House slaves were usually treated much better than field slaves. They cooked, cleaned, and did anything their owner asked them to do. They lived at their owners house. Any time at night their master wanted something then they would have to do it.
