The slaves in New England were used to perform housework. They worked in gardens and homes.

In the middle region, the slaves were also performing housework and taking care of gardening. They were used to work in dairy farms and also on ships. Some of them were used to work as personal assistants.

While the southern slaves worked in the fields. They were used mainly for working in plantations. They worked in the fields planting and harvesting crops such as tobacco and cotton.

Hope my answer helped u :)
