Who did the majority of the work on Arkansas's cotton plantations in the mid-

1800s?

yeoman farmers

enslaved people

O land speculators

Answer 1

Enslaved people

Step-by-step explanation:

The majority of the work in the cotton plantation in the mid-1800 was done by the enslaved people. Slavery was permitted in Arkansas before the Civil War. After the Civil War, slavery stopped as well, and wage labour, tenant farming became the most common means of production. Arkansas in the early 1800s needed lots of labour (slaves), who handled the cotton production from planting to picking.
