Description
Southern Plantation-AI+digital artwork by Donna Kennedy...
A plantation was a large farmed area where crops were grown for-profit and African slave labor was used to cultivate crops. Most plantations were located in the south during slavery in the United States. Plantations, which were common in southern states before abolishing slavery, were reliant on forced labor and enslavement. The Antebellum Period lasted from 1812 to 1861 and was the start of the American Civil War. There are currently around 375 museums that are former 1800s plantations in the United States. In the Antebellum Period in the U.S., African slave labor was used and exploited to produce crops such as cotton, tobacco, indigo, sugar cane and rice. Some crops were used to feed and meet the needs of the plantation (subsistence farming), while others were sold as cash crops to make a profit. The Upper South: Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and the Deep South, including South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, are where most large southern plantations were located.
