Life in the South
Summary
The Southern people did not like Northern people because they felt like the northern people were forcing them to follow their laws. The plantation owners were very wealthy. They were wealthy by the free work of slaves. Life in the south was unfair to the slaves. The slaves were mistreated and they tried to escape, some of them even succeeded. When the war ended the plantation owners were no longer rich and the slaves were freed. Many of the plantations were destroyed during the war and left the owners penniless.
