see the standard works on American slavery, starting with the older, but
still very useful, Kenneth Stampp, THe Peculiar Institution (1956); I am
pretty sure that U.B. Phillips (son of a Georgia planter) used this
definition in his book American Negro Slavery (1918) and his other
works, such as Life and Labor in the Old SOuth

I had not previously heard the definition of a planter , i.e., owner of
at least 20 slaves. Could someone elaborate on this or refer me
elsewhere if this subject has been previously discussed to exhaustion?
And what is the definition of a plantation? # of acres, slaves, types
of crops........ What is the definition of a manor? British,
royalty........
"Farm" had a different meaning: "rented tract of land", as I understand
it.
Thanks - Judy Gabor
