Virginia was a colony in America that prospered through the plantation system. They cultivated tobacco and the tobacco plantation required a lot of human labour for it to be successful. Over 500,000 African slaves worked tirelessly morning and night on these tobacco plantations for their masters. The men mostly did the tedious jobs on the farms while the women did domestic chores at home.
The jobs of the slaves were very demanding and his privileges depended on the will of his master. The slave had limited freedom.
