Analysis of the Two Periods of Antebellum South Carolina

In addition, Image A represents a way in which slavery was abolished in South Carolina. Since this sale took place in 1760, this means that South Carolina is still a British colony as the American Revolution has not yet been done. Even with British customs, slavery is still at African disposition, as if they were not better than cattle. One of the sellers, Lawrence, is the owner of one of the most wealthy plantations in South Carolina and one of the slave merchants.

In the prewar era, a few years before the Civil War, producers in South America continued to plant Chesapeake's cigarettes and Carolina rice the same way as in the colonial era. However, before the war, cotton emerged as the main commercial crop in the southern part, including economically important tobacco, rice and sugar. In 1793, Eli Whitney invented a device to separate seeds from cotton seed (cotton seed) and revolutionized cotton production. Suddenly, manual work is very time consuming and can be done quickly and easily. Cotton Jin ("Cotton Engine" for short) can quickly and easily separate cotton fibers from seeds. This must be done manually. Whitney has completely changed the process by introducing 'cogs' into his cotton gin to comb the cotton and separate the seeds.

The pre-war US south was the agriculture and knight society built on the sweat and hard efforts of African-American slaves. This is in stark contrast to the industrialization of the northern states ("prewar south"). This ancient southern part is "The Last Knight's Knight and Cotton Field (...) and That Woman's Expo" (qte. "Prewar"). This is a sentimental and nostalgic point of view and is often thought of when people think about the era before the war. However, despite the image of the large farms and their large staircases, and the fact that people speak in a soft southern style, the cruelty of the whole race as livestock can not be ignored.
