Not as widespread as most people would have you believe. Only 6% of southerners owned slaves and of those, even fewer owned more than one. Most of the slaves were owned by large plantation owners. Slaves cost about what a luxury car would cost in today's terms and there was no guarantee that it would work, so unless someone had an enormous amount of money and a lot of work for them, they weren't very cost effective.

In contrast, the North had a more diverse economy with more emphasis on industry and commerce, which did not rely as heavily on slave labor.
