Plantations usually owned slaves who worked the land while many small farmers did their own work. Plantation owners lived in large houses while small farm owners lived in one-story homes. Also plantations looked like villages because they had many buildings and families living on the property unlike small farms. Plantations also had a building just for the kitchen unlike small farms.
