Answer:

Slavery was much more brutal and much more common in the South.

Step-by-step explanation:

Possibly tied to its Puritan and Quaker roots, people of the North took poorly to the idea of enslaved people being forced into labor against penalty of torture or starvation. The Middle Colonies were heavily reliant on manufacturing, the Northern Colonies were reliant on fishing and shipbuilding, and the Southern Colonies were reliant on slave labor.
