Rich white Southern plantation owners were typically affluent landowners in the Southern United States during the antebellum period, primarily before the Civil War. They owned large estates and relied heavily on enslaved African Americans for labor to cultivate cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. Their wealth and social status were often tied to their landholdings, which positioned them as powerful figures in Southern society and politics. This system of plantation agriculture was foundational to the Southern economy and contributed to the deep social and racial divides that characterized the region.
