I assume that you are talking about the "middle colonies" in colonial North America that consisted of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, and New Jersey . They did live there and mostly worked on the larger farms and estates, either as household staff of as field workers.

Where a lot of slaves or indendured servant in North Carolina in colonial times?

Yes, during colonial times, North Carolina had a significant population of both enslaved individuals and indentured servants. Enslaved Africans were brought to work on plantations, particularly in the production of tobacco and later rice, while many indentured servants, often from Europe, worked under contracts for a set period in exchange for passage to America and eventual land or freedom. The reliance on both labor systems contributed to the colony's agricultural economy. By the mid-18th century, the number of enslaved people began to outpace that of indentured servants as the demand for labor grew.
