Enslaved persons were put to work in almost every aspect and sphere of life. Many, trained in specialized fields, such as: cooks, carpenters, blacksmiths, coopers, and domestic servants, navigated the internal rules of their enslavers. They may have received greater creature comforts, such as more comfortable clothing; yet, they also suffered more pitfalls, including micromanagement. Join Cheyney McKnight for a lecture about life as an enslaved lady’s maid.
