Most Southern whites were connected to the plantation system through a complex social and economic hierarchy. Many were small farmers who relied on the plantation economy for their livelihoods, either by working as tenant farmers or through sharecropping arrangements, which tied them to the land and the agricultural cycle. Additionally, even those who did not own plantations often supported the system ideologically and politically, as it reinforced their social status and racial superiority over enslaved Black individuals. This connection fostered a pervasive culture that upheld the plantation economy as central to Southern identity and prosperity.
