Slavery was abolished a long time ago.
Rural slaves typically worked on plantations and farms in more isolated areas, while urban slaves were more likely to work in cities and towns in various trades and domestic roles. Urban slaves often had more opportunities for social interaction and potential avenues for escape or freedom.
Plantation slaves typically lived and worked in rural areas, subject to harsher conditions and more limited freedoms compared to city slaves who often had more opportunities for autonomy and financial independence. Free blacks still faced discrimination and limited rights, but had more control over their own lives compared to slaves.
The slave state with more free black people than slaves was Virginia. Though there was much debate about whether the state should be considered a slave state or free state due to the number of free slaves.
The planter group (those who held 20 or more slaves) made up under 4% of the adult white men in the south, held more than 1/2 of the slaves and produced most of the cotton and tobacco and all of the sugar and rice, thus most slaves lived on large plantations.
House slaves typically wore better quality clothing made from nicer fabrics compared to field slaves, who wore more practical and durable clothing suited for working in the fields. House slaves often had better access to more varied and higher quality food compared to field slaves, who typically received simpler and less varied meals to sustain them during their physically demanding work.

Slave masters needed to catch more slaves to make more money. They sold slaves for money. Their wealth was decided by the number and quality of slaves they had in stock. Sometimes, if they had farms, the more slaves that worked on the farms, the better.

The growth of the cotton plantation demanded more slaves to work, pick, and grown the cotton. In looking at statistics of the numbers of bales of cotton there is a relationship to the number of slaves. More cotton meant more slaves.
About 10 percent of slaves lived in the plantation with 10 or more slaves.
The more slaves, the more money made by the captain when sold in the slave market.
