Slaves were working for free for the slave owners. Poor whites were'nt getting beaten or treated poorly, they just didnt have any money.
They were very reactionary. Instead of realizing that their class status was similar to that of the slaves in the sense that they were also subjected to capitalist exploitation, they took sides with the big capitalist exploiters against the exploited and oppressed slaves.
Whites may have feared black slaves due to the perceived threat of rebellion or uprising, as well as fears of loss of control and power. Whites also may have viewed black slaves as different or inferior, leading to feelings of superiority and the need to maintain dominance through fear.
Slave owners feared poor whites because they were seen as competition for labor resources. Poor whites could potentially undermine the hierarchical structure of society by forming alliances with slaves to challenge the institution of slavery. Additionally, poor whites posed a threat to the economic interests of slave owners by demanding higher wages or better working conditions.
Around 75% of southern whites owned fewer than five slaves. The majority of white southerners owned no slaves at all, as slaves were primarily held by a small percentage of wealthy plantation owners.
Most Southern whites, even if they didn't own slaves themselves, supported the slave system because they believed it reinforced their social status and economic well-being. They also perceived slaves as essential to the Southern economy and saw slavery as a fundamental part of their way of life and culture. Additionally, many non-slaveholding whites subscribed to the racial hierarchy that justified and maintained the institution of slavery.
The whites who had slaves are all dead. Get over it.

ANSWER:Not all Whites in the South owned land, nor did they have slaves. Many Whites were just as poor as the Black slaves. Many had to hire themselves out to do work for the wealthy land owners.Some Whites were sharecroppers with powerful plantation owners. Of course the wealthy land owners would take advantage of the Whites, just as they did with their slaves.
Because the whites thought they were "superior" to the blacks. So when the slaves didn't want to work, they were abused.
because the black not as good as the whites, so the whites catch then black and send them to work for the whites
Whites were affected because they could no longer have slaves. Slaves provided them with the majority of their income. Without slaves, many white lost their wealth.
Slaveholders tried to convince poor whites that slavery was justified to maintain social order and prevent potential alliances between poor whites and slaves that could threaten the existing power structure. By promoting the idea that whites were superior and deserved more rights and privileges than slaves, slaveholders aimed to divide and control the lower classes to safeguard their own economic interests.
slaves were sold because the whites needed servant's to do there work
