James Stirling, in "Life of Plantation Field Hands," describes two conditions prevailing among the house servants and the field hands.
One is the slave condition of house servants and the slave condition of field hands. He noted that the house servants enjoyed better privileges from their masters because of the devoted attachment that had developed over the years.
This humanizing condition was absent with the field hands. The plantation owners did not develop any human relationship with their field slaves, as they were at the mercy of their white supervisors and their assistants. The field supervisors made all the decisions regarding the treatment of the slaves. The conditions of the field hands were most dehumanizing.
Thus, these two classes of slaves never enjoyed similar living conditions.
