Best Answer

The southern colonies had a feudal culture where much wealth was held in the hands of a few. Slavery was the main form of human resources and cash crops were the main type of farming that took place in this agrarian society. Plantations were so vast, there wasn't a lot of land left for food or subsistence farming, so many whites outside that culture were also poor. The lifestyle was leisurely and opulent with huge antebellum mansions, European education for the planter's children, and behavior that attempted to mimic chivalry.
