Which of the following best describes a plantation in the 1800s? a small family-owned farm, usually in the north an investment company that protected its investors a family-owned agricultural estate, usually in the south a factory with machines that spun cotton fiber into cloth

The option that best describes a plantation in the 180s is C. a family-owned agricultural estate, usually in the South. At the time, most of the farms and plantations were found in the South, because that land was always more agriculturally-inclined, whereas the North was more interested in technology than in nature. At the time, there weren't many companies or factories, but rather farms created in the South where slaves were brought to work.
