Enslaved people in New England worked as artisans or dockhands, middle colonies had a higher slave ownership percentage, and new slaves continued to be in demand in the northern colonies.
Enslaved people in the New England colonies were likely to work as artisans or dockhands rather than on sizable plantations. They performed household duties and provided skilled labor in various industries such as shipbuilding, carpentry, printing, tailoring, shoe making, blacksmithing, baking, and weaving.
Slave occupations in New England were more diverse compared to the South, where northern slaves worked primarily in large agricultural units. In contrast, slaves in the middle colonies were owned by a larger percentage of the population and commonly used by gentlemen, merchants, small farmers, and artisans.
The demand for new slaves continued throughout the colonial period in the northern colonies, with most slaves living in or near coastal urban regions and working as domestic servants, laundresses, dockworkers, field hands, or iron workers.
