Mississippi defended slavery primarily due to its economic reliance on agriculture, particularly cotton production, which depended heavily on enslaved labor. The state's economy was intertwined with the institution of slavery, as it provided the labor force necessary for large plantations to thrive. Additionally, cultural and social factors, including white supremacy and a belief in the racial inferiority of enslaved people, reinforced support for slavery among the white population. This defense was further solidified by political motivations, as Mississippi sought to protect its interests within the framework of the broader Southern slaveholding society.
