In what ways was the experience of slaves different in the middle colonies from the southern colonies?

In the middle colonies, the experience of slaves was generally less harsh compared to the southern colonies, where the plantation system dominated. Middle colonies often had a more diverse economy with smaller farms, allowing for a somewhat less oppressive environment, and some slaves could earn wages or gain limited autonomy. In contrast, southern colonies relied heavily on slave labor for large-scale agriculture, leading to brutal conditions and a more rigid racial hierarchy. Additionally, the social dynamics in the southern colonies reinforced a more entrenched system of slavery compared to the relatively more integrated society of the middle colonies.
