The plantation is a uniquely American form of community for many white and black Southerners. The region is largely rural, dependent on such lucrative but labor-intensive crops as rice, sugar, cotton, and later tobacco. The fact that the hard physical work of the plantation is provided largely by slaves creates a lifestyle for both women and men that is quite unlike that in the North. Most large-scale plantations are in the southern coastal regions with smaller tobacco plantations in Maryland and Virginia. As the plantation society takes hold, an elite southern gentry with far reaching political influence begins to emerge.
