The majority of Texas slaveholders were concentrated in the eastern and southern regions of the state, particularly in areas such as the Blackland Prairie, the Gulf Coast, and along the Brazos River. Counties like Harris, Galveston, and Fort Bend were notable for their high numbers of enslaved people and slaveholders. These areas were primarily agricultural, relying on cotton and sugar plantations that necessitated a large labor force. The prevalence of slavery in these regions was a significant aspect of Texas's economy prior to the Civil War.
