When talking about African slavery people often bring up how Africans do better in hotter or tropical climates unlike Europeans who would drop like flies if made to work in the same conditions. This is why you see African slaves instead of European indentured servants on sugar plantations. But what is less talked is how African slaves did in colder climates. I imagine if you sent African slaves to Canada to work they would not do well health wise especially if outside during the winter. So the question is do African slaves die in cold climates the same way Europeans die in tropical climates? Is this one reason we don’t see African slaves in those regions?
