The task system was commonly used in rice and indigo plantations in the low country of South Carolina and Georgia. Under this system, slaves were assigned a specific task to complete each day, and once they finished the task, they were free to use their remaining time as they wished. This system allowed for some degree of autonomy and flexibility in work patterns, but did not give slaves complete freedom to determine their own schedules. The other answer choices are not generally true of slaves in this region during this time period.
