Yes, Mary Chesnut was wealthy. She came from a prominent South Carolina family and married James Chesnut Jr., a successful plantation owner and U.S. senator. Their wealth was derived from their extensive plantations and the use of enslaved labor, which was typical of affluent Southern families during that period. Mary Chesnut's diaries provide insight into the lives of the Southern elite before, during, and after the Civil War.
The increasing disparity between wealthy landowners and workers in Jamestown was primarily driven by the labor system and the economic structure of the colony. Landowners profited from the cultivation of cash crops like tobacco, which required significant land and labor, leading them to rely on indentured servants and, later, enslaved Africans. As wealth concentrated among landowners, workers faced limited opportunities for upward mobility, resulting in a widening gap between the two groups. Additionally, landowners' political power allowed them to shape policies that favored their interests, further entrenching the socioeconomic divide.

Most of the new settlers in South Carolina were members of the English upper class, including planters and wealthy landowners. They were often accompanied by indentured servants and enslaved Africans, who were brought to work on plantations, particularly in the cultivation of rice and indigo. Additionally, there were significant numbers of Huguenots (French Protestants) and Scots-Irish immigrants who contributed to the region's diverse population. This mix of groups shaped the social and economic landscape of early South Carolina.
Carolina became a destination for aristocratic whites primarily due to its fertile land and favorable climate, which attracted wealthy planters seeking to cultivate cash crops like rice and indigo. The establishment of plantations required a large labor force, leading to the importation of enslaved Africans, who became a significant part of the population. This combination of economic opportunity for whites and forced labor for blacks shaped the demographic and social landscape of the region. Additionally, the promise of land and wealth drew many to settle in Carolina, reinforcing its status as a hub for both aristocracy and enslaved individuals.
