Answer:

Their _____slaves______________ did most of the work. The plantation

owners did not _____pay____ the slaves for their work, and the slaves were not

____able_________ to live their lives as they wished.

Step-by-step explanation:

A slave plantation was an agricultural farm that used enslaved people for labor. The practice was abolished in most places during the 19th century. The vast majority of labor was unpaid. 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. Because the climate and soil of the South were suitable for the cultivation of commercial (plantation) crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, slavery developed in the southern colonies on a much larger scale than in the northern colonies.
