immigrants – little for free white labor
No manufacturing opportunities Single crop dependant Dependant on N. for capital &
market

White Social Structure
Planter Elite – planter = 20 slaves; 800-1000 acres Self made businessmen Chivalry & paternalism Limited contact w/ slaves (overseers)
Plantation Mistress Isolated Many responsibilities Miscegenation Benefit from slave - holding

White Social Structure – the plain folk
Yeomen Farmers – 80-160 acres; no slaves
Lack capital & credit Lack access to transportation and
marketing Isolated – geographically & socially Livestock, subsistence farming Limited class conflict –RACISM Ideas of liberty White supremacy
![Page 22: KALEIDOSCOPE – DIVIDED AGRARIAN COTTON BOOM The Old South.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649caf5503460f94973279/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
White Social Structure:
Mountaineers- isolated; autonomous; resented any government and planters
Non-land holding tenant farmers – want land – no capital
Poor whites – no economic opportunity; resent planters; hate slaves/free blacks

Why support for slave-holding system?
Planter/cotton control of the economic, social & political system
Status anxiety - white supremacyHopes and opportunity Challenge – Helper; Yeomen hurt by
slavery, can’t compete; limits opportunity

Interaction of the communities
Peculiar Institution = defining of the culture – OURS; superior & unifying
Separate spheres – but bondedSlaves better treatment in US Characteristics: white to black
Paternalism –white supremacy Principle of fear – must control labor
The whip; sale & family division slave codes

Pro-Slavery Arguments
“slavery as a positive good” (change in emphasis) creates stronger control & unity – a perfect hierarchal, orderly society – everyone knows one’s place
Biblical, political, scientific, economic and social arguments (Fitzhugh)

Stifle dissent – “closed mind, closed society”

Takaki – A Different Mirror
slave resistance“The reality for many slaves may
have been even more complex than a duality of roles. Some Sambo-like behavior may have been not so much a veil to hide inner emotions as a means of expressing them. Lying, stealing, laziness, immaturity and ignorance all contained within them an aggressive quality; they constituted, in effect, resistance to efficiency, discipline, work and productivity.”
