Approximately 6,000 slaves were present in Southampton County, Virginia, during the early 19th century. This number constituted a significant portion of the county's population at that time and played a central role in the local economy, primarily in the cultivation of cotton and tobacco.
There are no freed slaves remaining on the farm where they had worked as slaves. After emancipation, freed slaves were free to leave the farms where they were enslaved.
Many slaves in the Caribbean worked on sugar plantations. Others worked in industries such as coffee, tobacco, and cotton.
The exact number of slaves who were on Laura Plantation varies, but historical records indicate that it housed around 159 enslaved individuals at its peak in the mid-1800s.
Slaves were treated with kindness and respect as members of the family.
Many freed slaves chose to stay on the plantations where they had worked as slaves because they lacked resources and opportunities to start anew. Additionally, some slaves formed strong bonds with their communities and felt a sense of belonging that they wanted to maintain. Others chose to stay out of fear of the unknown or due to limited options for employment elsewhere.
