The slaves tried to resist the northern soldiers descending upon their plantations.
they were members of the northern army to fight the south or they were still working on the plantations
No the North didn't have plantations. The main reason for plantations was the crops grown pulled minerals from the soil so they need a lot of land to rotate the crops and let some fields lie fallow. The northern colonies had less land available for this method and cash crops was the main reason for the system in the north compared to the south.
The southern farms had far more enslaved worker than the Northern farms because the Southern had more land and needed more work done on the plantations.
The Southern plantations were connected to the Northern mills because without the Southern plantations, the Northern Factories would have no crop to turn into products. For example, cotton would be picked by the slaves on the Southern plantations, and then be brought up to the Northern factories in order to mass produce such things like clothing. This occurred especially during the time of the Industrial Revolution when factories were becoming more abundant and the deskilling of laborers was rising. Resulting from the Industrial Revolution, many people and immigrants sought factory work, and this also increased the amount of slaves that were needed. Also, such things like the Lowell Mill came about, and the Interchangeable parts flourished.
