Why Slavery Became Part of the Culture in the South

In the education, slaves in South often found alternative paths to learning. On the plantations education became a communal effort. Slaves learned from parents, spouses, family members, and other slaves. Slavery previously existed in most states, but the thirteenth amendment finally outlawed the practice. Once the Thirteenth amendment was passed there were more Civil Rights.

Why Slavery Became Part of the Culture in the South

      The effect on culture wasn't very good. Not a lot of Southerners owned slaves. Slaves were really expensive. Less than 1/10 of the population owned one slave, and less than 1% owned more than ten. Most of the slave owners were officers, legislators, senators, and political leaders.  Slaves had to indenture at least 7 years on the plantation.  
      The South needed slaves to work on plantations. The North didn't have a plantation system for its agriculture. White slave owners (men) used slave women "openly" for sexual purposes. There were many instances of abuse, of course, but it was not a routine. Many slave owners treated their slaves with some kindness. Open sexual abuse was okay to slave owners. Many female slaves received cruel treatment. If slaves did anything wrong there was a good percent of them being
lynched. Slavery in America’s southern states were based on economics. When the Mason-Dixon was created Eli Whitney’s revolutionary cotton gin was popular.  Even if the slaves asked to marry their owners would highly condemnation it.
