Answer:Slave life varied greatly depending on many factors.

Life on the fields meant working sunup to sundown six days a week and having food sometimes not suitable for an animal to eat. Plantation slaves lived in small shacks with a dirt floor and little or no furniture. Life on large plantations with a cruel overseer was oftentimes the worst. However, work for a small farm owner who was not doing well could mean not being fed.

The stories about cruel overseers were certainly true in some cases. The OVERSEER was paid to get the most work out of the slaves; therefore, overseers often resorted to whatever means was necessary. Sometimes the slaves would drive the overseer off the plantation in desperation. When slaves complained that they were being unfairly treated, slaveholders would most often be very protective of their "property" and would release the overseer.

n some cases, a driver was used rather than an overseer. The difference between the overseer and the DRIVER was simple: drivers were slaves themselves. A driver might be convinced by a master to manage the slaves for better privileges. Drivers were usually hated by the rest of the slaves. These feelings often led to violence.

Large plantations often required some slaves to work in the plantation home. These slaves enjoyed far better circumstances. DOMESTIC SLAVES lived in better quarters and received better food. They sometimes were able to travel with the owner's family. In many cases, a class system developed within the slave community. Domestic slaves did not often associate themselves with plantation slaves. They often aspired to arrange courtships for their children with other domestic slavesExplanation:

Which of the following words best fits into the sentence below
Mademuasel [1]

I do not see how this question relates to History subject, but anyway I will answer it because you just could have misplaced it and i could still be useful for you in the English subject.

First let us start by explaining why the other words cannot complete the sentence:

The word<u> loosely </u>is used mainly to talk about things that can or cannot fit into a place, for example clothing, they can fit loosely.

<u>Happily </u>could be used as a literary device for personification to give the water the ability to "feel" happy with the meaning of flowing without problems, but since there is no justification for it in the sentence, we cannot use the word.

<u>Densely</u> cannot be used because it would mean the opposite to the normal reaction caused by heavy rain, when a liquid is dense it moves more slowly.


So the only possible and correct answer is:

1.- swiftly


the heavy rain caused the waters in the little creek besides the park to flow much more swiftly than normal.
