William Lloyd Garrison: Fiery abolitionist, journalist, suffragist, and social reformer.
Unlike previous generations of

Cotton Exports as a Percentage of All
U.S. Exports, 1800–1860
The growing share of the export market, and the
great value (nearly $200 million in 1860) led
southern slave owners to believe that “Cotton Is
King.” They believed that the importance of cotton to the national economy entitled the South to a commanding voice in
national policy.

The goal of yeoman farm families was economic independence. Their mixed farming and grazing enterprises, supported by kinship and community ties, afforded them a self-

The gang system used in cotton cultivation necessitated overseers to keep the gang at work. Hence scenes like this where slaves work hard to pick and bale cotton while white overseers
with whips stand lazily.

Slaveholding and Class Structure in the South,
1830
The great majority of the southern white population were
yeoman farmers.
In 1830, slave owners made up only 36 percent of the southern
white population; owners of more than fifty slaves constituted
a tiny 2.5 percent.
Yet they and the others who were middling planters
dominated politics, retaining the support of yeomen who prized
their freedom as white men above class-based politics.
