NO!
Large plantations were usually only seen in the "Deep South" (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, etc) and were usually the exception. Many farms were big but few were "plantation" size. After the war with Mexico the prevailing agricultural norm in the south west was ranching or livestock bast agriculture.
