The document describes slavery in northern and southern colonies. In the north, some slaves worked on farms while most worked in towns and cities, where they had more opportunities than southern slaves but laws still limited their rights. In the south, most slaves worked on large plantations, where some showed farmers how to raise rice. Southern slave owners could sell slaves and slaves created instruments to preserve their culture and send messages. The document also mentions slaves resisting slavery by working slowly, breaking tools, and staging rebellions like the Stono Rebellion.
