Detailed explanation-1: -Historically, there are many different types of slavery including chattel, bonded, forced labour and sexual slavery.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positions like carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, and engineers gave the slaves the opportunity for greater mobility than women.” Females would cook, do house work and take care of the children they bore while males would do hard labor such as plowmen, drivers and many more.
Detailed explanation-3: -In chattel slavery, the slave is legally rendered the personal property (chattel) of the slave owner. In economics, the term de facto slavery describes the conditions of unfree labour and forced labour that most slaves endure.
Detailed explanation-4: -Usually, however, especially on larger farms and plantations, fieldwork was divided along gender lines, with more physically demanding tasks assigned to male gangs. Men, for instance, might chop the wood for a fence, while women were put in charge of its construction. Men generally plowed the fields, while women hoed.
