Southern plantation owners used more slaves in the 1800s primarily due to the economic demands of cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. The invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century significantly increased cotton production, leading to a higher demand for labor. Slavery provided a cost-effective labor force that allowed plantation owners to maximize profits while maintaining control over their workforce. Additionally, the institution of slavery was deeply entrenched in the social and economic systems of the South, making it difficult to transition away from this reliance.

Probably less than 20 per cent of the white southern population (by mid 1800's) owned slaves, and most people owned only between about 1 and five. Slaves, depending on age and fitness, generally cost between 500 - 2,000$, some going for many thousands if they had a skill such as carpentry or blacksmithing. Only about 2 per cent of the slave owning population owned hundreds -- the elite plantation owners who's families had either immigrated to the States early and bought land and slaves cheap, or those who had wealth by other means and likely never or very rarely set foot on their plantations, using them as a business investment and having them run by managers and overseers.
