Best Answer

Yes, mostly cotton plantations.

As the planters grew rich in the cotton boom, they began to fantasise that they were feudal aristocrats, and they discouraged their sons from going into industry. So the South had very little industry when the Civil War started, and this put them at a disadvantage.
