Where did slaves have hard lives?

Answer:southern parts

Explanation:

because in the civil war the south often made slaves do the dirty work for them and they often tried to go to the north were there was not much slave owners but paddy rollers or slave patrols would often hunt them down

In the Southern colonies slaves had hard lives for the longest time. Plantations were very common in the South as the best way to make money was for farmers to sell cotton to the British directly. The Southern climate was perfect for this, along with tobacco. As the North slowly realized that slavery was wrong and the Southern colonies split off from the North, slavery was still very popular during and before the civil war in the South.
