Urban and industrial slavery differed from plantation slavery primarily in the nature of work and living conditions. Urban slaves often worked in skilled trades or domestic service, allowing for a degree of autonomy and interaction with free people, while plantation slaves were primarily engaged in labor-intensive agricultural work under harsh conditions. Additionally, urban slaves sometimes had the opportunity to earn money and buy their freedom, whereas plantation slaves faced more rigid systems of control and were typically subject to more brutal treatment. Overall, the environment and social dynamics significantly shaped the experiences of slaves in urban versus plantation settings.
