Very informative post. African American slaves took on many jobs and worked on large plantations, small farms, towns and cities, inside homes, in the outfields and in the industries. Most slaves worked the field on cotton plantation in the southern regional. Surprisingly, three quarter of the white elites in the South never owned a slave. This implies that the image of the South as a place where there were plantations all over and that the whole white population remains to be a myth. There were just a small percentage of people who owned twenty or more slaves (Campbell, 2015).
