northern farms were mainly family farms southern farms more like plantations where based on a slave economy
The upper South did not have to rely as heavily on slave labor because their farms were smaller. The lower South had huge cotton plantations.
slave plantations started in the first 13 colonies...it started in the years of1820 thru 1860
English involvement in the slave trade was stimulated by the development of plantations in Jamaica.
Plantations, which were common in the American South and in the Caribbean. Features of these large agricultural concerns were the use of African Slave labor, monoculture (the growing of only one crop usually sold for cash, Cotton primarily in the South but also rice in the South Carolina Low Country, and of course sugar in the Caribbean) and the use of overseers and managers. The owners were usually absentee (living elsewhere) especially in the Caribbean.

They were agricultural farms which used slave labor to grow and harvest very large crops. In Haiti, the first plantations grew sugar cane, and were built by the French in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the southern US colonies, South Carolina used slaves (as in French Louisiana) for a number of crops before cotton became a primary crop in the 1790's. Georgia had banned slavery in 1735, only to legalize it again in 1751 due to shortages of labor.
