Southern U.S. plantations varied in size, but many were quite large, often spanning several hundred to several thousand acres. The largest plantations could encompass over 1,000 acres, with extensive fields dedicated to cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. These expansive lands were typically worked by dozens to hundreds of enslaved people, depending on the scale of the operation. The significant size of these plantations was a key factor in their economic viability and the social dynamics of the antebellum South.
