1) Describe slavery on the plantation in the early American South.
30
The term slave came from the Slavic people who were white slaves preferred by the royal class of Europe before the age of sale. After the interior of Africa was penetrated during the age of sale African slavery became popular. Slave traders would set up maroon colonies on the coast of Africa where ships would gather them and set sale for the colonies along the middle passage. Slave families work broken up and sold to the highest bidders to work on Southern Plantations growing rice, tobacco, cotton, indigo, hemp, and other crops. The conditions of slavery were not good. Slaves worked long hours from sun up to sun down in either the harsh gang system where slaves worked continuously all day long doing arduous task. The task system of work was less harsh where slaves could work a certain task and then once completed could do something for themselves like work on their own garden or earn money working independently for another plantation owner. Slavery in America was different in that it was hereditary, and was passed down from generation to generation. Slaves were considered property and worked very hard by the overseer and plantation owner. Slaves could not read or write. Education was legally forbidden to slaves.

2) Explain how slavery caused division in the North and South socially.
30
The cultural (social) differences between the North and South also caused conflict and added to sectional differences. In the North, society was much more urban (cities) and industrial while the majority of people were employed. Northerners tended to be less religious but more educated and the section was the power base of several political groups, including the Whigs, Republicans, and the Northern part of the Democratic Party. In the South, most people made a living through agriculture (farming) and lived further apart than people in the congested cities of the North. Religion was more important in the daily life of southerners but the average person was less educated and nearly all southerners were Democrats. These cultural differences made both the North and South think it was better than the other and kept the sections from trying to understand each other.
