White Trash Identity & The Loss of Slack
The pre-Civil War South was a leisure society for whites. An amazing lack of work existed there. The planter class did not work because they had slaves who worked for them. Their plantations and aristocratic pretensions were bought and paid for with black slave labor. They were at the undisputed top of the Ol' South social order. While the planter class busied itself with the tasks of this social order, the poor whites busied themselves with little at all. These folks were mostly Celtic in origin, and they managed to bring to America Celtic traditional ways.
