True. Many slaves were warriors and had been important people within their society, so there were also people with skills who were taken as slaves.
The Romans use slaves in the Colosseum for maintenance work. These were public slaves who also had duties in maintaining public buildings and city sanitation. Privately owned slaves were used in various ways, depending upon their education and training. Some were farm workers, some household servants, some were clerical workers such as secretaries and accountants In general, you can say that slaves were used in any way that their services were needed.
They're Slaves. They work 24/7. Only holiday is when they stop breathing for good!
As for the number of slaves owned by each master, 88% held fewer than 20
Nope, slaves
In that time, it was perfectly acceptable to own slaves. Of course, slavery in that time wasn't the same as slavery in the US pre-1865.
Yes...some slaves were expert carpenters , blacksmiths , or tailors. They learned their trades after years of service under expert white craftsmen. Slaves could be either of the 3. They were also lots of other things
Slaves worked as Skilled laborers, blacksmiths, and carpenters.
Tailors,saloon people, (lol idk what they r called exactly ) Blacksmiths, slaves, mostly farmers.
Yes and no. There were some "house slaves" who were, for all intents and purposes, nannies or servants to the white family who owned them. They were expected to have a wide range of household skills, including sewing, cooking, and making minor repairs. But even those few slaves who had masters who were kind to them were still slaves. They were not encouraged to be "experts" at anything, and they weren't allowed to do work that might take away from skilled white tradesmen. In cities that were segregated but had free blacks living there, some did in fact learn to be blacksmiths or carpenters, but they would only have worked in their own segregated part of town, and would not have been paid the salary of a white carpenter, blacksmith, or tailor.

Scribes, masons, quarrymen, carpenters, blacksmiths, soldiers and thousands of slaves
Slaves worked in plantations. They were also Blacksmiths, Fur trappers, Glassblowers, Tanners, Carpenters, Fishermen, Bakers, Carriage drivers, grooms, stonemasons and weavers. They were stripped of their rights and freedom, slaves were beaten, separated from their families, and worked continually.
