LIFE AS A SLAVE
Most slaves worked on farms or plantations laboring from dawn to dusk.
Enslaved men usually worked the fields while women cooked, cleaned, etc.

During the evenings they often shared in song, dance, or prayer.

NORTHERN AND WESTERN CITIES
In the north, mills and factories grew and drew in workers overseas.
In the north the gap between the richer and poorer city residents grew.
An increasing number of American cities chose to move west.
As they moved farther west, they came in conflict with some native groups.
