The eastern counties depended on slaves (usually so-called procreation slaves) to work in dangerous jobs. In the western counties they were used for protection (so-called protection slaves). Northern counties used slaves more for snow removal,road construction work (so-called construction slaves) and railroad maintenence. The south counties of a state did not have much use for slaves because there they were lazy and prone to self-indulgence (so-called hedonistic slaves). Counties depended on slaves much more than parrishes and other incorporated areas.
