might be separated from your family
One danger of being sold to plantations in the deep south was the harsh and brutal working conditions faced by enslaved individuals, including long hours of labor, physical punishment, and poor living conditions. Additionally, families were often separated, leading to emotional trauma and a loss of cultural identity.
The further downriver, the more brutal the slave-drivers. Hence the menacing threat that you would be 'sold down the river'. Jefferson Davis was an exception, that he farmed in Mississippi (although born in Kentucky), and treated his slaves so well that they didn't want their freedom.
They were called plantations
Plantations existed more in the south mainly because of the slavery to farm them.
The South
Huge farms in the southern United States are typically large-scale operations focused on growing crops such as cotton, soybeans, corn, and wheat. These farms often cover thousands of acres and employ advanced technology and machinery to maximize efficiency and productivity. Additionally, some southern farms may also raise livestock such as cattle, poultry, and pigs.
Plantations
The north was mostly factories and industries so they had many rail roads. The south was the opposite and was mostly plantations. Being mostly plantations they didn't have many rail roads, so it was harder to transport things.
Because the South had more plantations even though the farmers in the South were working being slaves. answered by:jules mcintire age 10

No. Plantations were only in the south and not the middle colonies. They had small cash crop farms.
