Slaves were property and not "free labor" . It is much more than that and slaves were used to work the plantation crops, work in the house, and to build the south.
Most of the African Americans slaves worked in the cotton fields where they picked cotton on the plantations. There was always an overseer that watched over the slaves to see if they were working hard enough. If an overseer saw a slave not work, they beat them. There were house slaves, too. The house slaves did all the housework in their master's house. They cooked, cleaned, dusted, swept, and did all the other chores we do today.
The slaves had several roles in Georgia. For one, the field hands were mainly responsible for picking cotton. They also had to maintain the landscaping of the plantation, along with tending to the horses and livestock.
