The exact number of slave farms in the United States varied over time, but by the mid-19th century, there were thousands of plantations and smaller farms that utilized enslaved labor, primarily in the Southern states. Estimates suggest that there were around 400,000 enslaved individuals working on farms and plantations by the time of the Civil War. These farms varied in size and scale, with some large plantations cultivating cash crops like cotton and tobacco, while smaller farms might have had only a few enslaved workers.
