Obviously, they were forced to carry out agricultural tasks, but I'm looking for primary sources that look into the variety of work that enslaved people in the Americas did. At best, I'm finding analyses of specific industries in specific places, but the paper I'm working on is not specifically about this topic so I'm hoping to avoid aggregating very many studies just to be able to give a two sentence overview on the types of work enslaved people did. Does anyone know of any sources that attempt to give such an overview?
