Enslaved people on plantations were typically forced to engage in the following types of work:
- picking cotton
- taking care of young children
Cooking meals was often done by enslaved women, but it was not a role exclusive to plantation labor as it could also be done in domestic settings. Serving as armed protection was generally not a role assigned to enslaved people on plantations.
So, the correct answers would be:
- picking cotton
- taking care of young children
