what were the conditions slaves worked in, in the industrial revolution?

Answer 1

Pretty much the same conditions they always worked in--bad. They worked in fields and mines and often died from heat, snakebite, illness, or under an overseer's whip. Those who worked in factories (not many) were at risk of injury from the machines. They could be whipped for any offense or none at all. Many did not have enough to eat. Some women had to put up with sexual advances from owners. Pregnant women had to keep working. Old people and children had to work too.

Answer 2

Slaves didn't work in the Industrial Revolution, or rather not in the industries that were in that 'revolution'. Slaves were employed in agriculture in the New World. The Industrial Revolution was made possible by the employment for long hours of people from as young as 5 who lived and worked in appalling conditions (e.g. children opening ventilation doors in coal mines, forced to sit in the dark for 12 - 16 hours at a time) who received tiny wages and had few, if any, holidays. But they weren't slaves. Funny that nobody wants to apologise for those conditions...

Answer 3

The Industrial Revolution in England began in the mid1700s. Few if any slaves worked in factories there.
Manufacturing industries in this country were concentrated in free states - those which prohibited slavery.
Some slaves were put to work in the south - railroads, turpentine companies, commercial rice mills, etc., employed them especially in urban areas. Sometimes they bought them, sometimes they hired them from their owners.
Conditions for slaves were probably worse than they were for free labor, but anybody who had invested in a living creature had an interest in keeping it alive. Some say that convicts hired from the state after slavery was outlawed had it worse because it cost nothing to replace one.
