Question

In a paragraph, explain how social and economic conditions for African Americans differed in the Upper South and the Deep South during the early to mid-1800s.

Answer 1

Answer:

the plantations

Explanation:

The growing cotton was the labor intensive and cotton growers  to the fields. African African American slaves also worked in many other types of agriculture, including tobacco.

Answer 2

The Northern economy was determined solely by manufacturing. They produced tobacco, hemp, wheat, and vegetables. The Southern economy, on the other hand, was determined by cotton and sugar which was produced by slaves because of the intense labor. As a result, the North did not rely as much on slavery.  

African Americans in the North were active participants in American society. They could own land, businesses, farms, and could even pay taxes, and also fought relentlessly against slavery both politically and strategically. For example, they helped blacks escape by acting as active “conductors” on the underground railroads (secret routes created for slaves to escape into free states and Canada.)  

African Americans in the South still lived under the shadow of slavery. They could not travel or assemble like Northerners, nor could they own businesses or churches. Although they wanted to take a stand against slavery, they did not have the same opprotunities as Northern African Americans.
