The Plantation System in Southern Life (1950)

[@eddiesimms9301]

My Dad would tell me what life was like for him as 12yr old black boy growing up in Mississippi. Every Summer he would go over to Alexandra Louisiana and live with his Aunt and she would send him to work in the cotton fields. And the plantation owner would pay the labors when ALL the cotton was harvest and shipped to the buyers and sold for what ever the going price was at the time. My Dad had to give his earnings to his Aunt, in return she would give him enough money to buy his school clothes. The harvesting always lasted into late September or early October and as a result, my Dad was NEVER able to start school on time. He eventually had to drop out of school to work full time to help feed the family, he said all that "hard work" led him to join the US Army which brought him to Ft Lewis Wa in 1957 and that's when he met my Mother and I'm a product of that union...Thank you retired SFC Eddie Simms Sr.....RIP.

@Eddie Simms Just read your post and it brought me to tears. My father had a very similar upbringing. Lived in Greenville, MS during the 50's and 60's and would "chop" cotton as youth to help the family. Granddaddy left the family for another woman so my dad dropped out of high school and enlisted in the Army cause chopping cotton just wasn't enough to support a household of 7. While most cats back then hated Army life, he thought it was a step up in because he didn't have to share a bed with two brothers or fight over food with them. As he used to say the Army gave him three hots and his own cot. Ended up getting stationed in Thailand in '71 where he met my mom, married her and brought her back stateside where I was born. RIP SSG R.J. Jr.

[@Poshgardenherbs]

This!!!!

[@AdolfBushka]

Slavery was legal, Constitutional, and common. Hand labor was necessary for crops like cotton, tobacco, and rice. Slavery was actually more expensive for the farmers than share cropping. Under share cropping the farmer did not have to pay for food, health care, clothing,, and other expenses. When purchasing a slave the farmer had to pay up front for an entire lifetime of labor. With share cropping you paid the labor after the harvest. The is no obligation to share croppers in the off season like there was for slaves.

That is very true. Life was hard for poor white people too but they did have their freedom and they had the ability to leave and star a differently lide elsewhere. What's also interesting is that poor white southerners today hold fast to the idealic view of The Antebellum South but what they don't realize is that life wouldn't have been that great for them anyway. Only white male land owners lived well.

@@marcusbrutus9578 I know. The families of slave owners lived a life of luxury. But that was only a small percent. With that said, a lot of the white people romanticize over the antebellum south don't realize they wouldn't have enjoyed many of the spoils of it. Also those poor whites that lived there at the time had the freedom to leave and many did. They could travel wherever they wanted. Slaves didn't have that privilege.

[@bobjones7933]

Cheap labor.thats an understatement..it was free labor

[@lewislindsey1946]

That is basically correct!

[@AdolfBushka]

What a stupid statement!! Slaves were expensive cost about 10 times the price of a horse. The planter had to pay for a lifetime of labor up front with slaves. Sharecroppers got their portion of the harvest. There was no free labor. Slaves got free language training, free job training, free food, free housing, free utilities, free clothing, free medical and dental care, free retirement, etc. all in exchange merely for their labor. Much more expensive than the minimum wage of today.

This maybe an unpopular opinion consider it's not some WOKESTER point of view, but I think the film did a great job in explaining the one subject that is all too taboo to talk about in America, and that is Class and Caste system, which wasn't and still isn't unique to Southeastern United States. What did exist in the south was a class and caste system. (Which exists in the rest of America). Sadly, the subject of race is pushed on and baited on the public so the greatest taboo subject in America (Class & Caste) never gets talked about. Class & Caste system never gets talked about in America because everyone is suppose to believe this myth that in America everyday homeless people are becoming billionaires and there is limitless opportunity everywhere, and that no ones standard of living ever goes down.

Folks, Ask yourself a question why there are not many documentaries about the "Antebellum North". This point in time, many things in history have been purposely "changed" to make one side look terrible. Ah, ask yourself why there are less black land owners in the rural North, than compared to the rural South? There has been an unfortunate twisting of the truth, to only show one side of the things. I am not defending the "Old South" here, just pointing out that the other side of the story was destroyed after the war. Of all the money produced by slave labor, that went into the treasury, VERY INTERESTING that this same money was used PRIMARILY to build the infrastructure in the North. We were all guilty, not just one side.
