During the Civil War, slaves worked harder, as many of the normal farm workers were away fighting in the war. Some slave followed their owners into the army as body servants. All these slaves had very little free time, to do anything other than the normal essential activities, except on Sunday. Slaves were often allowed to attend religious services on Sunday. Nothing much else. Slave were not allowed to learn to read, for example. Gossiping and chatting, were some of the few activities they could do with their little free time.

Which part of America were the slaves sold to?
Slaves were bought from tribes people from within Africa and sold to slave traders that cam and went on that coast. These slaves were bought into many harbors in America, primarily in the Southern States to be bought as workers in the cotton fields and other various minial jobs.Two interesting points that I learn recently. Free Black Individuals were allowed (and did indeed) to own slaves in the south. Abe Lincoln never lived to see the end of slavery. He died shortly after the civil war ended. Slavery was not made illegal until the December after his death. The end of the civil war did not end slavery either.The slaves in northern states (yes, there were slaves states in the north during the war!) remained slaves after the war ended. Did you also know that there were black soldiers in the south during the war fighting against the north? The issue was a states rights issue.
