Question

What were Southern farms like in the 1800s?

Answer 1

In the 1800s, The South was known for its incredibly large plantations, but small farms were more common. Most of the Southern Colonists lived on small, family farms in the backcountry, away from the tidewater. Backcountry colonists farmed with the help of family members and perhaps one or two servants or slaves. On Plantations, The Slaves worked day and night to harvest crops by hand with no equipment.
Ex.
Slaves that harvested cottonwood had splinters in their hands and suffered when they weren't allowed to get them out.

Answer 2

Answer:The Southern Colonies had an agricultural economy. Most colonists lived on small family farms, but some owned large plantations that produced cash crops such as tobacco and rice. Many slaves worked on plantations. Slavery was a cruel system.
