What was life like for domestic slaves on a plantation? They worked as artisans such as blacksmiths and carpenters.

They worked as cooks, nursemaids, footmen, and house servants.

They had several rights and privileges that were denied to foreign slaves.

They served at most twenty years as a term of their enslavement.

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time.
