The health of plantation slaves was far worse than that of whites. Unsanitary conditions, inadequate nutrition and unrelenting hard labor made slaves highly susceptible to disease. Illnesses were generally not treated adequately, and slaves were often forced to work even when sick.

Slavery took place since the export of blacks from Africa to the English colony, which they dominated at that time because they possessed countless riches, and which, by the way, exported them in terrible conditions. Arriving at the landing site, they were examined as '' goods '', the best went to work in heavy labor and the others to mansions for lords, or slave quarters, and those in bad conditions were sacrificed. Those who lived on large properties that were mostly women worked as maids and even served as prostitutes for masters, black children served as toys for white women, men always in mining and agriculture, served all their needs. Small farms did more of the labor.
