Answer:

The New England colonies; and middle and south colonies are different in terms of dependence on slaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of families that had slaves in the New England colonies was very less. These slaves were majorly employed to do household chores. Further south, i.e. in the middle colonies, there were more slaves than the New England colonies and were involved in the household, industrial, and agricultural activities.

The colonies in the south had the most slaves because the plantation owners required more slaves to work on the huge plantations that used to be there in the south.
