In the South Carolina and Georgia Low Country, slaves raised rice and indigo and were able to reconstitute African social patterns and maintain a separate Gullah dialect. Each day, slaves were required to achieve a precise work objective, a labor system known as the task system. This allowed them to leave the fields early in the afternoon to tend their own gardens and raise their own livestock. Slaves often passed their property down for generations.
In the North, slavery was concentrated in productive agriculture on Long Island and in southern Rhode Island and New Jersey. Most slaves were engaged in farming and stock raising for the West Indies or as household servants for the urban elite.

Cod has always been the most prolific species living on the Grand Banks. When John Cabot returned to Europe with the news of a new source of fish, fleets of French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Basque fishermen began fishing the waters off Newfoundland. By the 1700s, cod fishing became more and more controlled by Newfoundlander Meanwhile, offshore fishing by large European and Asian consortiums continued as eventually large refrigerator ships were developed to freeze the catch on-site, allowing weeks of continual fishing to occur. n 1977, Canada extended its control over coastal waters from 12 to 200 nautical miles to discourage overfishing by huge offshore ships from Europe and Asia. Inshore fishers expressed concern over declining cod catches in 1985. In July 1992, 30,000 Newfoundlanders were put out of work when the northern cod harvest was closed. By 2003, all Canadian cod fishing was banned.
