Most Southern whites, even if they didn't own slaves themselves, supported the slave system because they believed it reinforced their social status and economic well-being. They also perceived slaves as essential to the Southern economy and saw slavery as a fundamental part of their way of life and culture. Additionally, many non-slaveholding whites subscribed to the racial hierarchy that justified and maintained the institution of slavery.
