Where Slaves in the south worked in all of the following EXCEPT gold mines.
The Grimke sisters, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, were raised in a slave-owning family in South Carolina but later became abolitionists. They gave their inherited slaves freedom and left the South to join the abolitionist movement in the North. They actively worked to end slavery and fought for women's rights.
No, former slaves were not the only ones who were sharecroppers. Sharecropping system also involved poor white farmers who did not have land of their own and worked on a share basis for landowners. Sharecropping was a widespread system in the American South after the Civil War.
Plantation slaves lived and worked on large plantations under harsh conditions, with limited rights and freedoms. City slaves had more opportunities for freedom due to proximity to urban centers and potentially more interactions with free black communities. Free blacks had more autonomy and could own property, but they still faced significant social and legal discrimination in the South.
Sharecropping replaced the plantation system in the South after the Civil War as a way for freed slaves and poor whites to work the land they previously worked as slaves. Under this system, laborers rented land and resources from landowners in exchange for a share of the crops produced, allowing for some autonomy but also perpetuating cycles of debt and poverty.
The South wanted slaves to count towards the population for political representation purposes. Including slaves in the population count would have increased the South's representation in the House of Representatives and therefore its political power within the government.
Many slaves in the south worked on large plantations
In both the north and the south slaves worked hard and were owned. In the south slaves mostly worked on plantations; in the north many slaves worked in businesses and were able to work for money in their spare time.
slaves worked on plantations
Most slavery in the South was based on the plantation system, where enslaved people were forced to work long hours in harsh conditions cultivating crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane. Slavery was widespread and deeply entrenched in Southern society, with enslaved people considered property and denied basic human rights, leading to generational exploitation and abuse.
