Why didn't the new England colonies depend on slavery as much as the southern colonies?

Mostly, as might be expected, the reasons have to do with the differences in the economies. New England was more deeply steeped in the mercantile sector and fishing which did not have the high degree of labor intensivity of straight agriculture.It is a mistake to assume New Englanders had no participation in the slave trade. The boats that controlled the triangle trade of slavery were owned and run by New Englanders.

How can you compare and contrast slavery in the northern and southern colonies?

Slavery existed in both the northern and southern colonies, but its significance and prevalence varied. In the southern colonies, slavery was integral to the economy and shaped social structures, with large-scale plantations relying heavily on enslaved labor. In the northern colonies, slavery was less widespread and focused more on urban areas, with industries like shipping and trade benefiting from enslaved labor. Additionally, attitudes towards slavery differed, with abolitionist sentiments more prevalent in the North compared to the South.


Why did the southern colonies rely on both indentured servitude and slavery?

The southern colonies relied on both indentured servitude and slavery to support their labor-intensive agricultural economy. Indentured servants provided a low-cost labor source for a temporary period, while slavery provided a more permanent and exploitable workforce to meet the demand for labor on plantations. This dual system allowed the colonies to sustain their profitable cash crop production.
