In order to
increase the profit, the black slaves were used as labor in the mills. Mill was the name
of the sugar-cane grinder.That name was also given to the productive complex (the
house-big, the machine of milling, the chapel, the plantations, and the slave quarter).
The slave quarter was the place where the blacks stayed overnight and were arrested after
the days of work in the plantation. The slave quarter was watched by the feitor ( some
kind of guardian), generally a free slave, white or mestizo worker, that tried to impede
escapes and coordinated the works in the field.
In the world of the sugar-cane, the black worked in the plantation, in the prepare of the
bars of sugar, and occasionally in the making of the furniture and repairs of the big
house.
Some black ones were selected to do the domestic service, they were called mucamas.
The black was explored until the death. The owner was always restoring the stocks. The
slave's possibility to be free for their master was practically null. In Brazil, the
reproduction of the labor in captivity was not a very used technique, therefore the
slaves' owners believed that taking care of children was expensive, once they could only
work in the plantation in advanced age
