What were the jobs and chores of an African American slave?

Answer 1

Slaves were essentially employees of an estate or owner. While most slaves were obtained as manpower for agriculture work, slaves also served as blacksmiths, cooks, foreman, orderlies, drivers & coachmen, and mostly every other job available to non-slaves. Since most slaves did not know how to read English, they were very fortunate to work in these jobs, as opportunities outside of their servitude were very limited.
