Cash Crop instability

“Feudal” Southern Society Most slaveholders owned only a handful of slaves Stratified Southern Society Upper Class: Oligarchy of Elites Planter aristocracy Disproportionately wealthy, relatively few in number Buying the best lands “refined southern gentleman” Leisure, education, travel Time for politics Role of women 1,800 aristocrats Lower Class: the Majority Most owned NO slaves at all (3/4 of the population) Small holders had 2-4 slaves “Poor white trash” stereotype
