Distinguish among the major groups within southern white society and explain why each group was committed to the continuation and expansion of slavery.

The owners were the top 4%, they owned twenty or more slaves and had duels. The overseers were next, this was an easier job than the actual work and was an ideal position for slaves, similar to a supervisory position. The last group was the poor. They were still higher on the totem pole than blacks, and they focused their work mainly on farming corn or cotton and raised chickens an pigs.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
