The basic treatment of slaves
A slaves job depended upon their type of treatment. Depending upon the overseer also depended on how they were treated. There were different types of slaves. These types included: plantation slaves, "driver" slaves, house slaves, and domestic slaves.
Plantation slaves were treated the worst, they worked in the fields from sun up to sun down. Also they lived in shacks with dirt floors.
A "driver's" job was much like an overseer except he was a slave. Most of the other slaves didn't like him and he was basically a kiss-up to the slave owners. They were treated better than plantation slaves.
House slaves were basically housemaids/servants. They were usually treated better than plantation slaves and "drivers" . They had better food, slept in the house but were normally raped. House slaves sometimes prepared food and helped the owner's kids with whatever they needed.
Domestic slaves were treated better than house slaves. They sometimes traveled with the owners and did not associate with plantation slaves.
