In the British colony of Carolina (located mostly in what is now modern-day South Carolina), black slaves worked on large plantations and soon grew to outnumber the white population of the region by two to one (Mason 2006).
The population of the South was around 6 million in 1850 and only about 350,000 were slave owners. This included many of the wealthiest families, a number of whom owned large plantations. At the start of the Civil War, at least 4 million slaves and their descendants were forced to live and work on the Southern plantations. In contrast, industry ruled the economy of the North and less emphasis was on agriculture, though even that was more diverse.
