How did the poor whites live react to slaves?

They were very reactionary. Instead of realizing that their class status was similar to that of the slaves in the sense that they were also subjected to capitalist exploitation, they took sides with the big capitalist exploiters against the exploited and oppressed slaves.


What was a difference in life conditions between slaves and poor whites?

Slaves were owned as property, had no rights, and were subjected to brutal living and working conditions. Poor whites, while still disadvantaged, had the potential to earn wages and had some basic legal rights as free individuals. Additionally, poor whites were not subject to the same level of dehumanization and exploitation that enslaved individuals experienced.


What were living conditions like one for most slaves?

Most slaves in the 19th century lived in poor conditions, with overcrowded living quarters, lack of proper hygiene, and inadequate food. They often worked long hours in harsh and oppressive environments, facing physical and emotional abuse from their owners. Many slaves also suffered from poor health and limited access to medical care.


What impact did housing nutrition and disease have on the lives of slaves between 1820 and 1860?

It would probably vary a great deal depending on who the slaves were owned by. Some would be better fed and housed than others depending on how conscientious or how well off their owners were. The average black slave was probably no worse off than the average working-class white person, most of whom worked long hours for poor wages and had a poor standard of living.


What were the living conditions of slaves in the south?
