Slave Community In The 19th Century

In the early 19th century, the slave community, in south of America, was distributed into large and small plantation areas, on which slaves had work from sunrise to midnight in avoidance of beating. However, the Northerners sympathized the harsh condition of slaves, and fought against their own to abolish the expansion of slavery. In the south, the workers within a slave community worked based on either the task system or gang system. Plantation management not only exploited and humiliated the slaves, but owners also separated nearly half of slaves from their families. Moreover, on large plantations, it was more common for slaves to be divided on groups based on sexuality, and yet, the owner demanded same amount of production from either sexuality.
