Answer:
The slaves were put to work and forced into hard labor. Different people had different jobs, depending on how strong and built they were, and men and women also had different jobs. Most men and young boys worked outdoors such as cotton picking, crop picking, and building things. Women and young girls would tend to indoor work, acting as maids cleaning and maintaining around the home. Some would even take care of children.
During the Revolutionary War, many ex-slaves fought alongside as Patriots against the British (also called Confederates).
