Where Slaves in the south worked in all of the following EXCEPT gold mines.
The Grimke sisters, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, were raised in a slave-owning family in South Carolina but later became abolitionists. They gave their inherited slaves freedom and left the South to join the abolitionist movement in the North. They actively worked to end slavery and fought for women's rights.
No, former slaves were not the only ones who were sharecroppers. Sharecropping system also involved poor white farmers who did not have land of their own and worked on a share basis for landowners. Sharecropping was a widespread system in the American South after the Civil War.
There is a bit of misunderstanding here concerning slavery. There were no "city slaves" and any African American in the south was a slave. To leave the plantation they had to have a pass. On the plantation there were different jobs that determined the type of slave they were.
Sharecropping replaced the plantation system in the South after the Civil War as a way for freed slaves and poor whites to work the land they previously worked as slaves. Under this system, laborers rented land and resources from landowners in exchange for a share of the crops produced, allowing for some autonomy but also perpetuating cycles of debt and poverty.
The South wanted slaves to count towards the population for political representation purposes. Including slaves in the population count would have increased the South's representation in the House of Representatives and therefore its political power within the government.
Many slaves in the south worked on large plantations
In both the north and the south slaves worked hard and were owned. In the south slaves mostly worked on plantations; in the north many slaves worked in businesses and were able to work for money in their spare time.

African Slaves & Indentured Servents. Hope this helped :)
I think it was African Slaves and Indentured Servents...... but i'm not sure.
In New England, slaves worked primarily as household servants, artisans, and in maritime industries. In the Middle colonies, slaves worked on farms, mines, and in skilled trades such as carpentry and blacksmithing. In the Southern colonies, slaves worked on plantations in agriculture, primarily in tobacco, rice, and indigo production.
The slaves brought to America were chattel slaves. The had no rights, could be traded as property, and were expected to perform labors for their masters. The South had field slaves who worked the fields and the house slaves.
Most of the slaves worked in the fields.
slaves working in towns and citys
Because whites were armed and except in coastal South Carolina, outnumbered slaves.
