Many slaves in the South were put to work on plantations before and during the Civil War. Many of these plantations were used to grow tobacco.
The free blacks during the slavery were called indentured slaves. They were the ones that were owned by the plantation owners, but they were also paid for the work that they had done on the plantation. When they served their time as a slave which was usually up to not exceeding three years they were freed and told that they could leave. Some of them stayed on and some left the plantations.

Most slaves were owned by plantation owners. Plantations were very large and needed more people to work on it so that the owners could get rich quick. Also, during the cotton boom, a lot of plantation owners needed more workers to get cotton ready for sale. Slaves didn't have to be paid, just bought.

The Republican scandal during reconstruction included the punishment of Southerners with many unfair tactics instead of rebuilding. Many landowners lost their plantations to taxes that were levied at a whim. These injustices were attributed to the Republicans who held office at the time.
