T-What was life like on a plantation?

Dear Diary, Well life’s not the best on the plantation. My owner is John Woolman. Its like a mini village here, with hundreds of people! Its set up like one too,the middle has a house we call it the “Big House”. Thats were the family lives. We built think walls to keep us cool in the summer. Many of the slaves work in the “Big House” as house slaves. We live in small captive houses near the crops. There is no time to rest under the rules of the overseer. He is the boss of the plantation. We sometimes call this area “slave row”. Here are the buildings “Big House”, kitchen,smoke house,overseer house,laundry,fruit trees,slave quarters,garden,hen house,stable,tobacco barn,carpentry shop,black smith,tobacco fields, and the worst...whipping poll. So thats it. Bye!

this means its a vocab word.
