How was being a slave in the north different from being a slave in the south?
Slaves were only in the south. None in the north.
How did slaves survive the south?
First of all the slaves were spread throughout the U.S. But to answer your question slave life was not as hard as people today make it out to be. Being a slave was like being in poverty. You didn't have much money but you had a house and clothes. You weren't whipped unless you tried to steal or escape the farm. Basically you were treated asif u were a child and/or employee of the owner.
What was it like being a slave in the slave trade?
Life was horrible and the slaves were kept in bad conditions and they smelled bad.
How did the the fugitive slave act of 1850 anger northerners?
They didn't like being turned into unpaid slave-catchers.
How much did a slave have to earn to pay himself out of being a slave?
Slaves weren't paid. That is what makes them a slave, they are owned by someone. The person who owns them considers them property and you don't pay property.
