One key difference between the lives of enslaved people in the South and the North was the legal framework surrounding slavery. In the South, slavery was deeply embedded in the economy and social structure, with large plantations relying on the labor of enslaved individuals for agricultural production. In contrast, while slavery existed in the North, it was less prevalent and often less brutal, with many enslaved people living in urban areas where they had slightly more opportunities for autonomy and legal recourse. Ultimately, the South's plantation system created a more severe and oppressive environment for enslaved individuals compared to the North.
