Chapter 12

The first thing I think when I think old south is slavery but slavery was not the only problem in the old south. I found it really interesting that white men were very violent with one another and fought over power. They called it dueling and sometimes it was so violent that men fought until death. I found this really interesting because I think that when one has a lot of power over people it goes to their head and they become out of control. I think that because plantation owners had such a power over their slaves that it completely went to their head and effected them outside the plantation.
