aristocratic rule that centers itself on
plantations and the institution of slavery. The
antebellum era echos themes of white supremacy,
democracy, unity, tradition, nobility, and honor.
While some of these themes seem to be immortalized
by such classic works as Gone with the Wind and
Roots they still seem to represent the Southern
way of life. Although slaver...

could eventually have an effect on the economy of
the United States. If the United States keeps
losing farms at this rate there may not be enough
food produced to support the United States. This
