In the antebellum South, slaves were seen as crucial for the economy and maintaining the societal structure based on agriculture. Slavery was deeply ingrained in the South's culture and economy, with many viewing enslaved people as essential for their way of life and livelihood.

Denmark Vesey's failed slave rebellion in 1822 led to increased suspicion and fear among white slaveholders, resulting in harsher treatment and tighter restrictions on slaves throughout the South. The failed revolt also led to more stringent laws regulating the movement and education of slaves, further limiting their freedoms.
One example of active resistance by slaves was the Stono Rebellion in 1739, where a group of slaves in South Carolina rebelled, seized weapons, and marched towards Florida with the intention of seeking freedom. This rebellion resulted in the deaths of multiple white colonists and slaves, leading to harsher slave codes in the region.
