Free labor, their children and their lives.

Other then just what we normally consider such as blood, sweat and tears the slaves also contributed their culture - which can still be seen in the style of music and religious worship.
What most people never consider is that slavery actually hurt the economy of the south since slaves being basically free labor meant that many poor white southern men could not find work.. also large plantations hurt the smaller farms that could not compete. We must remember not everyone in the south was part of the slave trade or owned slaves.
Slave labor also meant that it took longer for technology to advance in the south... since.. no one cared about improving farming methods... since they didn't have to do it.
While this is not to excuse anything that happened it is something we should think about... when we consider how slavery effected farming in the south.

What is one way that life For enslaved people was different in the south then In the north?
One key difference between the lives of enslaved people in the South and the North was the legal framework surrounding slavery. In the South, slavery was deeply embedded in the economy and social structure, with large plantations relying on the labor of enslaved individuals for agricultural production. In contrast, while slavery existed in the North, it was less prevalent and often less brutal, with many enslaved people living in urban areas where they had slightly more opportunities for autonomy and legal recourse. Ultimately, the South's plantation system created a more severe and oppressive environment for enslaved individuals compared to the North.
What freed many of the enslaved people in the south?
Many enslaved people in the South were freed as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, which declared that all enslaved individuals in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. Additionally, the end of the Civil War in 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States, further solidified their freedom. These legal and military actions collectively contributed to the liberation of countless enslaved individuals.
