Blacks did not like being slaves. Blacks were usually slaves because they looked a little different, because their skin was darker. People thought that slaves (including blacks) didn't need loyalty and didn't have a right to be treated like they did.

How was life different for plantation slaves city slaves and free blacks in the southern?

Plantation slaves typically lived and worked in rural areas, subject to harsher conditions and more limited freedoms compared to city slaves who often had more opportunities for autonomy and financial independence. Free blacks still faced discrimination and limited rights, but had more control over their own lives compared to slaves.


Did the slaves like being slaves?

No, the slaves did not like being slaves. They were forced into slavery through various means including capture, trade, or birth, and their freedom and rights were severely restricted. Slavery was a system of exploitation and oppression that denied them basic human rights and dignity.


What are the social effects on slaves and free blacks?

Slaves faced severe social oppression, including being treated as property, denied basic rights, and often experienced physical and emotional abuse. Free blacks faced discrimination and segregation, limited access to education and job opportunities, and were often marginalized in society. Both groups struggled to assert their humanity and challenge systemic racism and inequality.


How was life different for plantation slaves city slaves and free black in the south?

Plantation slaves in the South were generally agricultural workers, and few owners had more than two dozen slaves. On a typical plantation, some slaves would be involved in domestic chores. This often gave them better quarters and better treatment, but exposed them to close scrutiny and often abuse. Overseers would enforce work and discipline by cruel and violent means. City slaves, either domestics or tradesmen, participated in the economies of the urban areas, and represented up to a fifth of the population in some large Antebellum cities. They were generally better treated and housed, and many were given training as artisans or tradesmen. Free blacks, while nominally citizens of their respective localities, were commonly treated with disrespect and scorn under the Black Codes of the slave South. Some free blacks also owned slaves themselves, and were in any case too few to impact the treatment of fellow blacks under the system of human bondage. Anyone, black or white, who helped slaves avoid recapture or punishment faced severe criminal penalties or death. Freed blacks, who included many mixed-race children of plantation owners, were as a group better educated than any slaves.


How was life different for plantation slaves city slaves and free blacks in south?

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.
