Planters and missionaries became powerful in Hawaii during the 19th century by establishing significant economic and social influence. Missionaries arrived first, promoting Christianity and Western education, which helped them gain the trust of the Hawaiian monarchy. They later transitioned into the sugar plantation economy, leveraging their connections to secure land and resources, leading to a strong economic foothold. This combination of religious influence and economic power ultimately allowed them to shape Hawaii's political landscape, culminating in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.

Planters in the South became increasingly dependent on slave labor due to the high profitability of cash crops like cotton and tobacco, which required intensive labor for cultivation and harvesting. The invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century further accelerated this demand, making cotton cultivation more efficient and profitable. Additionally, the expansion of plantation agriculture and the need for a stable, controlled workforce led to a reliance on the institution of slavery, as it provided a consistent and economically advantageous labor source for the growing agricultural economy.
Many plantation owners in the South moved toward a one crop economy (cotton) and needed a cheaper labor source than the Northern idea of white labor.
Being a plantation owner was their profession. Nobody retired to become a plantation owner unless the came across a great deal of money as a plantation cost a lot to include a house and land as well as slaves. Most southerners didn't have slaves.
Most immigrants became plantation workers.
