Black slaves were not paid for their labor in the United States during the time of slavery. They were considered property and forced to work without compensation under brutal and inhumane conditions.
Life for newly freed slaves in the South was incredibly challenging. Many faced poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, discrimination, and threats of violence from white supremacist groups. They also had to navigate the complexities of finding paid work and securing housing, often in a hostile environment.
No, slaves do not get paid. They are forced to work without compensation and are treated as property rather than as individuals with rights.
They were slaves, they worked for food and shelter, not money. They would never get paid the white man took them from their country so the slaves could work for free on the white man's land and farms.
Slaves arrived in South Carolina through various means, including being transported on ships from West Africa as part of the transatlantic slave trade. They were also sometimes brought in from other American colonies or purchased from slave markets. Additionally, some slaves were born into slavery in South Carolina.
Yes, if the slaves were freed in the south they would get paid when working in the North. They would just get paid less than the average white person.
Small and large that had one slave was about 11%- most had paid off what their owners had paid for them. The "company store" towns had more in worse condition than the slaves in the south.
Business men would want slaves to work on their plantations. They wouldn't get paid so it was free labour.
Former slaves believed that after years of hard labor the South owed them land. This belief was not granted by the South; and many slaves rented small homes and went back to work for paid wages on the plantations.
slaves don't get paid they're slaves
Slaves get paid nothing.
Slaves were used in the cotton industry. The South made a fortune off of their slaves. After the cotton gin (which removed seeds from cotton) was invented, the South made a great deal of money off of their slaves. Slaves were treated like farm animals and beasts of burden. Not as people. Freeing the slaves would have meant giving up a lot of money, and the South did not want to lose such a valuable resource. Of course, as a result of the Civil War to keep the country united and to free Human slaves, the South paid dearly for keeping people in bondage.
the slaves in the south were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.
By definition, slaves aren't paid.
The emancipation proclamation declared that all enslaved people will be freed and this ruined the chance of the South getting support from Europe. The emancipation proclamation also protected the rights of the slaves in the South and brought them to safety in the North. This changed the course of business in the South and North because every freed slave needed a job. Those jobs would have to come from the white men in the North. As well as this, the South's economy was based on slaves so needed to change to paid labor. Those who were previously slaves would have to be paid in order to work.

It costs less to grow crops with slaves who don't have to be paid, than it does to grow crops by hiring people to work on your plantation.
