What We Already Know
In the early 1800s, most of America was made up of
small farms, just as Thomas Jefferson
envisioned it.
![Page 5: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What We Already Know
New England’s economy was based on the
manufacture of textiles and other
products.
![Page 6: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What We Already Know
Slavery was an important part of America’s history.
![Page 7: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• The South’s soil and almost year-round growing season were ideal for crops like rice and tobacco.
The Plantation Economy
• Large, self-sufficient plantations developed, making large cities rare in the South.
![Page 8: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Manufactured goods were imported by Southerners.
![Page 9: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unlike New Englanders, Southerners grew cash crops.
• Cash crops are raised for sale rather than for personal use.
• The labor required to produce these crops led to a slave-based economy.
![Page 10: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Southerners grew cash crops.
• The first great cash crop grown in the South was tobacco.
• Later, cotton will the number one cash crop cultivated.

9. What was the first great cash crop grown in the South?
A. Rice B. TobaccoC. CottonD. WheatE. Corn
![Page 13: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Crops like tobacco and cotton required many workers to cultivate.
![Page 14: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Crops like tobacco and cotton required many workers to cultivate.
![Page 15: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Before the 1660s, planters used indentured
servants on their plantations.
• Indentured servants ran away from plantations to start their own farms.
• Efforts to force Native Americans to work on the plantations were unsuccessful.
• European diseases caused many Native Americans to die.
![Page 16: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In the 1660s, Southerners began to import large numbers of African slaves.
![Page 17: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The population of African slaves grew rapidly.
• By 1750, enslaved Africans made up about 40 percent of the South’s population.
• Plantation farming quickly expanded all across the South.

Lesson 4.3b: Southern Society and Slavery
Today we will identify the social classes of the South and the harshness of slave life.
![Page 21: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Southern society was a stratified (layered) society.
Planters
Small farmers & businessmen
Poor whites
Free blacks and slaves
![Page 22: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Plantation owners held most of the economic power in the South, even
though they were only a small part of the total population.
![Page 23: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• The South was the birthplace of representative government in America.
• But only planters held real political power in the Southern states.
![Page 24: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• These small landowners couldn’t compete with planters and moved west.
• Poor whites owned no land or own very poor land.
Small farmers and businessmen made
up the South’s middle class.
![Page 25: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Many slaves and free blacks lived in the South.
Free blacks actually outnumbered the planter class.
![Page 26: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Life under slavery was difficult.
On large plantations, slaves toiled in groups of about 20 to 25 under the supervision of overseers,
who whipped them if they did not appear to be working hard enough.
![Page 27: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Life under slavery was difficult.
Slaves did exhausting work, often for 15 hours a day at the peak of the harvest
season.
![Page 28: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Life under slavery was difficult.
• Slaves usually lived in small, one-room cabins.
![Page 29: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Life under slavery was difficult.• Since a slave might receive only around a quarter
bushel of corn and a pound of pork per week, some planters allowed their slaves to raise their own potatoes, greens, fruit, or chickens.
![Page 30: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Africans preserved many customs and beliefs from their homelands, such as music, dances, stories, and religions.
• African kinship customs became the basis of slave family culture, and was a source of strength even when families were separated.
![Page 31: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Slave Resistance
• Slaves found ways to resist their captors.• They worked slowly, or pretended to be ill.• They broke tools, damaged goods, or
purposely carried out orders the wrong way.• They tried to run away, or even rose up in
rebellion.
![Page 32: Lesson 4.3: Daily Life in the South](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816570550346895dd80382/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
One of the most famous incidents was the Stono Rebellion.
• In September 1739, about 20 slaves armed with guns and other weapons killed several planter families.
• They marched south, loudly inviting other slaves to join them in seeking freedom in Spanish-held Florida.
• By late that afternoon, however, a white militia attacked the escaping slaves, and many slaves died in the fighting.
