MISSISSIPPI PLANTATIONS: An Introduction | |
|
BRIEF HISTORY Large-scale plantations were rare in the sandy and heavily wooded Piney Woods region, except immediately adjacent to rivers where the soil was amiable to crop cultivation. Although large plantations were scarce, a significant amount Afrikan-slave labor was utilized to maintain small farms. After the Civil War, many newly "freed" American-born Afrikans worked in the pine forests cutting trees for lumber and turpentine. References: USEFUL LINKS |
