Southern farmers Populists Southern whites
In 1865 Southern whites defined freedom as controlling their future without northern interference
Southern pro-slavery whites argued that slavery was a necessary economic institution that was vital to the Southern way of life. They believed that slavery was justified by the Bible and that it was beneficial for both slaves and slave owners. Additionally, they argued that African Americans were inferior and better off under the care of white slave owners.
6,100,000 Southern people owned no slaves.
Poor southern whites fought to defend many things. These people fought to keep their land, their rights, and often their workers.
