Who were the richest slave owners?
Wade Hampton of South Carolina was considered to be the richest man in the south. His family had pioneered a plantation in the upstate of South Carolina and Wade, as heir, had reached that status before buying additional land to establishing a cotton plantation in Mississippi. To start that plantation he sent between one and two hundred slaves from his South Carolina holdings. Less than one per cent of slaveowners owned more than 200 slaves, but they owned over half of the total of slaves. There were a few "prominent" families in each southern state which had over several generations acquired large land holdings and a large slave labor work force. As rich people have in every time and place, they exerted disproportionate political power, because, after all, money talks.

Was the south for or against secession?
The South was overwhelmingly in favor of secession in 1861. Some states were more militant and had larger majorities of secessionists than others but all members of the Confederacy joined voluntarily. That being said there were sizable populations in the South that were in favor of staying in the Union. West Virginia for instance, broke away from Virginia since most people in that area were against secession. Every state in the Confederacy, except South Carolina, had organized units in the Union army. Tennessee, a member of the Confederacy, contributed around 30,000 men to Union forces, more than some of the smaller New England states. Conversely there were substantial numbers of men from border states like Kentucky and Missouri that fought for the South. It was truly a war that pitted brother against brother.
