Which of the following statements is true of slavery in New England?

Slavery existed in New England, but it was less widespread than in the Southern colonies. Enslaved people often lived and worked in towns, including in households and shops, so they did not live separately outside towns. Their work was not limited to manual labor; many served as household workers or performed skilled jobs as well. Therefore, “Slavery was not widespread” is true.
