Cotton plantations very profitable Gang system Plantations commercialized; only one cash crop Material conditions for slaves improved; more humane?? In 1830, only 1/3 of southern whites owned any slaves

Southern Yeomanry “Subsistence plus” agriculture Produced livestock over plantation crops Mixed farming Marketed surplus at country stores Lived simple life with few luxuries Relied a great deal on family labor Barter system

Private Lives of Slaves Plantation success rested on slave-master accommodation Slave privileges helped to ensure obedience and order Slave marriages encouraged and respected Slave families were vulnerable Children often spread their affection across a broad extended family Slavery and Christianity Southern Evangelicals embraced slaves and considered their souls worth saving Slaves form their own churches Religion and Revolt

Slave Rebellions Gabriel’s Rebellion, 1800 Artisan Hoped for a republican revolution: “Death or Liberty” Planned to gather a slave army to seize Richmond Weather and black betrayal foiled revolt Denmark Vesey conspiracy, 1822 Free Slaves would rise up and seize Charleston Commandeer ships and make their escape to Haiti Gullah Jack Betrayed by slaves themselves Nat Turner revolt, 1831 Visions/ Moses Southampton County, Virginia Bloody, but unsuccessful, revolt ensued Southern whites deeply troubled by slave revolts
