Answer:

Overview

With the invention of the cotton gin, cotton became the cash crop of the Deep South, stimulating increased demand for enslaved people from the Upper South to toil the land.

As the disparity between plantation owners and poor white people widened in the Deep South, deeply entrenched racism blurred perceived class divides.

The slave economy of the South had international economic reach since the majority of cotton was sold abroad; it connected the United States to the international marketplace.

Answer:

Because they believed that slaves were beneath them, economically impoverished White people did not share the same feelings as enslaved people.

Explanation:

How did low-income White people see slavery?

Despite the fact that only wealthy White people could own slaves, impoverished Whites in the South accepted the practice.

This was due to the necessity for Poor Whites to always feel in a position of power over African Americans, despite the fact that their lives weren't all that much better.

White slavery, often known as the "white slave trade" or "white slave trafficking," is the practice of enslaving Europeans, whether by non-Europeans (such as people from West Asia and North Africa) or by other Europeans (such as the Vikings' thralls or slaves aboard naval galleys). Both the Ottoman Empire and ancient Rome had slaves who were of European descent.

There were many distinct kinds of white slaves. The statuses of serf, bordar, villein, vagrant, and slave all applied to persons who were obliged to work for free or on indentured servitude on the European continent throughout the medieval era.

Under Muslim control, invasions into European territory or the taking of children as a blood tax from the families of inhabitants of conquered countries were frequent sources of funding for the Ottoman slave trade, which included European captives and was used by the empire for a number of purposes. [1] The Christian slaves who were sold into the Barbary slave trade were referred to as practising "white slavery" in the middle of the 19th century.

The current legal phrase places less emphasis on the race of the victims or offenders and instead more specifically refers to forced prostitution, sexual slavery, and people trafficking.
