Most slaves in the time of the 13 colonies lived on the Plantations. They were needed because harvesting requiered strenuous work, so most slaves spent mos of their time in the feild tending to mostly tabacco.

During this time the christians did not oppose slavery because they told themselves that the slaves were not Christians so it was ok to make them work.
