what is it based on slave labor
Both colonies did not depend on the labor of the slave.
Cotton and tobacco growing and slave trading. While Rhode Island did have quite a lot of slave trading, the Southern colonies had huge plantations with slave labor. Slaves were bought and sold and forced to work on these plantations with no pay and poor conditions.
The dutch region of New York and Pennsylvania was near New Jersey and that region particularly was even stricter than other colonies in African slave labor. In short, yes they had slave labor.
The slave economy was more leaning on the South rather than the Middle and the New England Colonies.
In the southern colonies, the land was better for growing crops, so there were a lot more farms and plantations. Because there were so many farms and plantations, these places needed more cheap easy labor. In the New England colonies, the soil was rocky, and not good for farming. In the Middle colonies, there was some farming, but not a lot.Answer (OCinneide)The northern colonies were primarily industrial based while the south was primarily agricultural. The north needed skilled labor which could not be supplied by slave labor, while the cheap unskilled slave labor was very useful to the farmers and plantation owners of the south.
Mostly, as might be expected, the reasons have to do with the differences in the economies. New England was more deeply steeped in the mercantile sector and fishing which did not have the high degree of labor intensivity of straight agriculture.It is a mistake to assume New Englanders had no participation in the slave trade. The boats that controlled the triangle trade of slavery were owned and run by New Englanders.
the colonists used natives for slave labor.
Farms were not a popular means of livelihood in the new England colonies, hence slavery was frowned upon.
On the whole, the New England and Middle Colonies of America in the 17th and 18th centuries did not contain widespread nor economically significant slave-holding. That slavery was initially legal is undeniable; however, by contrast with the Southern colonies, the basic way of life of these colonies was not dependent on slave-labor in any important respect.
Southern. Middle and New England colonies didn't have slavery, but they did have discrimination.
