One of the slaves of Lloyd's farms was Frederick Douglas, who escaped in 1838 and became a disarmist, writer, politician, and speaker in the north. In his autobiography, Douglas mentioned elaborate gardens and horse races of plantations, as well as their flaws and barbarian slave groups. Lloyd provided employment opportunities to other white people in Talbot County, many of which were slave merchants, but "slave destroyers" were ordered to defeat and overturn uncontrollable slaves. Like other members of the elite, Lloyd himself has also served in various provinces and the political bureau nationwide. From Mar 1809 to 1811 the Maryland Governor, from 1807 to 1809 the House of Representatives, and from 1819 to 1826 as Senator. As representative and senator, Lloyd advocates slavery as the foundation of the American economy.

Douglas continued the details of the plantation of Colonel Lloyd he grew. Lloyd has a large cultivation garden that people in various parts of Maryland can see. Some slaves can not refuse to eat fruit. To prevent them, Lloyd laid tar on the wall around the garden and whipped the slave with tar. Colonel Lloyd also demonstrates its power for horses and carriages. Horses are managed by two slaves, father and son, Old Bernie and a young Barney. The colonel was very loud about his horses and often whipped two people as they could not even control small flaws in the horse. The system is unfair, but the slaves do not complain. Colonel Lloyd asserts that his slaves were silent and afraid when they talked and they were punished without comment. Douglas remembered that the old Barney was kneeling on the ground and saw accepting more than 30 whips.

The work of these farms is infinite for slaves. Slaves of adult males depend mainly on fields, meadows and gardens. A riding supervisor is equipped with a whip to monitor slaves and is threatening to always use whipping to punish "lager". The planter also uses skilled slave jobs for their own purposes such as blacksmiths and carpenters. Finally, female slaves and infants usually act as housewives and care for the owner's family as chefs, servants, maids.
