In the South, there are two regions calls the Upper South and the Deep South. Slaves in the Deep South lived brutally. There was very low sanitation, and they lived in small broken-down cottages or huts with only hay as comfort and warmth. These slaves were often whipped until they bled and had severe cuts on their backs. They were rarely fed, with only dirty water or bits of old bread/etc.

In the Upper South, they were treated less brutal. They would fit 3 or 4 slaves in a room with small beds. It was cramped, but it was something. They would work all day long in the house, blacksmithing, tending crops in the fields, picking cotton, etc... Slaves were not supposed to have an education or any legal rights. They were not hurt and whipped as much as the Deep South.
