Why do think the plantation manager's house was located between slave qtrs and main house?

because he was incharge of the slaves but still worked under the owner of the plantation.

you can say that southern economy depends on slaves. and without the south's raw goods, the north is nowhere. for example, the cotton from the south was used in factories in the north to make clothes, etc \nand you can be a real pig by saying they are lower than white ppl and blah blah blah all that silly stuff the southerners thought

The Underground Railroad wasn't actually underground. I was merely slaves escaping in the night, leaving the south heading north. It was a route that was taken and they stopped at various people's homes that made up the Underground Railroad. I hope this helps! :)

The paradox is that since slavery is about power then the effect cannot be equal. The enslaver is the power holder  while the slave is the submissive. So, the enslaver is in a more advantegous position to derive a benefit from the power structure while the slave is disadvantaged....think about it this way....slavery as a power structure only has a place for 2 sides (2 sides of the same coin as it were)...but the consequences/benefits are different depending on your place in the power structure....\n\nSo following this line of thinking, a good paradox would be ..."slavery represents 2 sides of the same coin with different weights"....

the slave is the colonists. They have no choice but to stand and fight. Refuge is a place to hide. so there is no place to hide, just "face the music"

As for North and South Dakota/Carolina, the answer has been given. The story with VA and WV is related to the issue of slavery and the period leading up to the American Civil War.\n\n(In short: What used to be "eastern Virginia" was mostly inhabited by slave-owning plantation holders. The part that is now West Virginia was inhabited by small farmers etc. The situation threatened to split the state apart, so the people voted to split it up in two states: WV for the Union, VA for the Confederacy.)

He never accumulated a lot of slaves.  He sold 30,000 of the at one time though.  He was a also a cross dresser.

Consider this- the North had the factories and the ability to ship goods produced by those factories for export, the South had plantations with a lot fewer ways of shipping the goods (cotton, etc.) to the factories where the cotton, etc. was made into other things(virtually no way to export goods).

Regime Fees are fees you pay in a Homeowners Association/Condo Complex. They usually cover things like ground maintenance, upkeep, etc.\n\nOn Plantation most likely refers to the location of the Property...it is "on a plantation".\n\nOff Plantation most likely means that it is "off" the plantation property, but close to it.\n\nYour best bet is to call a local realtor and ask them. They will know the market, etc.\n\nalso, check out this website:\nhttp://www.hiltonheadlistings.com/content/article.html?id=72445\n\nWe would love to have you here in SC! I hope this little bit of info helps!

Actually, this sounds like a case of jealousy to me.  This idiot wants to belittle anyone he can and you were the available target.  Know, however, that Indian slavery was unsuccessful and short-lived.  African slaves were unfamiliar with the area being shipped in from abroad.  Indian slaves knew the land and were able to escape from their slave master.

Well of course people lived in Liberia before the African Americans went back there.  So I disagree, but the independent state of liberia was started by freed American slaves.  That much is true.  Also American companies such as the tire maker Firestone moved in, to start rubber plantations.

I believe it was due to the strong iron production in the area...to produce weapons. But contact the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA to for your best answers.

if reffering to the old south farming plantation you had the land owner at the top of the pirimid then the overseer who managed the workers and saw that the crops were planted and harvested then there were the house servents who attended the needs of the land owners faimlythen there were the field hands who did the major work on the plantation the planting and the harvesting

Slavery had little to do with the Civil War. The prime issue was balance of power between Federal and State. Slavery happened to be the issue that fell along this divide. Could also throw in north-south economic disparacy.

If I knew it was going to be like this, I would not have purchased slaves from the BLACK Africans who were selling their brothers and sisters for profit.  But since I am a conservative Repbulican, and NOT a Democrat "party of the old south slave owners " Look at the history of the Republican Party vs the Democrat Party, it was the southern Dems that WANTED TO KEEP SLAVERY(States rights) and the Republican party was formed to STOP slavery.  Slavery is STILL going ON today, in \nAfrica, and the Arab "states".  So, I agree, why are they all whining and expecting a hand out??  \n\nAnd yes, I would and STILL pick my own cotton!

There wasn't really a railroad underground.  That's just a term used for the secret paths the slaves knew to take to gain their freedom.

In the South, the economy was based on agriculture, and the chief crop was cotton, which depended heavily on labor to produce it. Slaves were an important source of labor in the farming industries.
