What was slavery like in the Chesapeake compared to the southern and New England colonies?
Chesapeake Bay colonies are roughly equivalent to being the Southern colonies, excluding Georgia. But the base of slavery owners in the South were large plantation owners with dozens of slaves working on huge plantations. Generally leading to harsher conditions, because the climate was less favorable for healthful living, and the slaves were treated more like the slaves we think of when we think of Southern owned slaves. In the North, slaves were not nearly as necessary to life, because they were more equivalent to servants. There were no big plantations, but the households were more likely to have just 1 or 2 slaves who acted as maids/servants to help in the house. The conditions and prejudice against slaves was less endangering, because of the more egalitarian society that was established due to Puritan beliefs. If you want a more in depth look, then just look at the different social structures of the two regions, and the climate, because the climate played a big part in the longevity of the people living in the regions.
