The cottonocracy was the portion of the upper class that attributed their extreme wealth to the cotton trade. They had the most political power in the south.                                                                

2. As slavery became more profitable, slave codes restricting the rights of enslaved people to buy, sell, and produce goods were introduced. In some places, slave tags were required to be worn by enslaved people to prove that they were allowed to participate in certain types of work.
