pre-industrial? Lots of tending to the farm, caring for family, and managing slaves I suppose. Had some free time between that to work with your community for bonding or business dealings or whatnot.

    Don't think slave management was the average pre-industrial experience.

      Depends on your region, but let's not pretend it was some rarity pre cotton gin. You didn't need to be as rich as yo think to have slave labor.

        Quite the leap to go from "pre-industrial people" to "Antebellum US Southerners", and even then the majority of that (hyperspecific) group did not own slaves.
