Jefferson's slaves worked long hours, usually nine in the winter months and 14 in the summer months.
There was usually a person that was in charge of the enslaved blacks.
Many of them treated them poorly, whipped them, and made them do the dirty, hard work.
To eat, they received to two gallons of cornmeal, 2-3 salted fish, and a pound of pork.
Usually one slave family would live in a small one room cabin together.
