How were slaves treated during the colonial era in the 1700?

How did the sharecropping system operate?
It meant that laborers (often former slaves) with no land of their own worked on farm plots owned by others, and at the end of the season landowners paid workers a share of the crop. This meant that these laborers did not get a salary for their work and might hardly get paid at all in the end if the crops failed. Even with good crops, their share payment was deducted with cost of housing and food. In this system, the former slaves could be worse off than when they were still slaves when they could at least be sure of being housed and fed.

What Happened If Slaves Were Too Old To Work?Slaves who were too old to work were given lesser duties such as cooking or tending to gardens. On a general basis slaves were in great physical shape because of the hard work they did and had longevity on their side.You honestly think slavery, which is founded on an evil belief of racial supremacy, would treat old slaves benevolently all the time? I think its safe to say that many slavers would gradually starve old slaves to death and I'm sure some had them shipped out somewhere and shot.
