Why was Frederick so happy to be leaving the plantation?
Because he was leaving to Baltimore, and Baltimore was the place everyone was talking of. He was proud to be picked out of so many of the slaves and considered this a gift from god.
What work did the slaves do in America?
Slaves in America were used for a variety of purposes. In the north, more affluent families kept slaves as domestic servants to cook and clean. Slaves could also be used for tasks in production, and some were taught to be skilled craftsmen or ironworkers. However, the vast majority of slaves were used on the vast plantations of the south. There, they planted, tended, and picked the crops (the most common of which was cotton, but also included tobacco, rice, and indigo) for extended hours essentially every day of their lives.
Why were so many slaves needed on a plantation in the South?
Cotton had to be picked by hand and the invention of the cotton gin allowed for more cotton to be processed. Cotton is a versatile material and can be used by many industries especially textile and clothes.
