Well, there was the cotton industry. The cotton industry was big back in the 1800's. Planters were people that owned at least 20 slaves. They would be wealth families that were called "cottonocracy". Cottonocracy is a mix between cotton and aristocracy. There were two kinds of slaves, the field slaves, and the house slaves. While house slaves were still had a lower class than that of the lowest class white man compared to the field slaves they were like royalty. Back then field slaves were expected to 12 to 16 hours a day, but for some of the slaves owners that still wasn't enough.
Planters and yeomen alike often looked down on the poorest of white southerners.
Southern slaves during the war went from liabilities to assets. When the north were taking the south out, the south realized they had way more slaves, than anything else left. They started putting the slaves out there to do battle, and keep the south in the fight....imagine that? The north is opposed to slavery, and the Africans are the slaves in the south, and fighting the north to keep things the way the were....President Lincoln got wind of who the north was truly fighting, and signed the Emancipation Proclamation, to make the southern slaves have no reason to fight, but get out of the way, so he could figure out a way to keep that union together. Many were able to flee to the North during the chaos and fog of battle. In addition, many then joined the ranks of the Northern military to help defeat the Confederacy.
Southern planters believed that if slaves learned to read, it would weaken the system of slavery.
Southern planters generally viewed their slaves as property to be bought, sold, and used for labor to generate profit. They often saw them as inferior, subhuman beings and believed they needed to be controlled through harsh discipline to ensure productivity and obedience. The plantation economy relied on the forced labor of slaves to maintain the wealth and social status of the planters.

In the Southern states of America and in the Caribbean during the 1700-1800s, the Planter class was composed of the whites who owned plantations growing sugar, cotton, tobacco, etc., and slaves. They were the upper class and considered higher than either free working people or slaves who were at the bottom.
