What was life like for enslaved people in the urban areas of the antebellum South?
Post Body

In a lot of depictions and popular works surrounding the American Civil War, enslaved people, if they appear at all, are invariably seen in rural contexts, namely plantations. The American South was, and is, famously, far more rural than the urbanized north of the country. Yet urban areas did still exist, Atlanta, New Orleans, Charleston, and others. How did urban slavery in the antebellum American South differ from the more common, dominant images we have of enslavement on plantations?
