What Was The Difference Between North And South Slavery

The major difference between north and south was on the ideal of slavery (free labor vs. slave labor). Most slaves on the south worked for land-cultivating cotton; tobacco, sugar, and rice because southern economy mainly depended on agriculture. Most slaves lived on large farms or small plantations and their behaviors and movements were restricted. Slaveholders also tried to keep slaves from learning to read and write.
