Life in the SouthSocial Class Pyramid
Pg.423
The “Cottonacracy” Planter = 20 or more slaves
1 in 30 or 3% of whites owned 20 or more
only 1% of whites owned 50 or more
Because the richest of these plantation owners could hire “overseers” (managers) who would run their plantations, they could be involved in local, state, and national politics.

Major ways to fight back…- escape to the North
- plan a revolt
