While raiding crops on the plantations like tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton they often produced the items you needed on a daily basis. Anything that you could not make on the plantation yourself would be bought in town. The southern states grew very slowly during the 1800s, not many chose to live in the south, but if you were a free southerner and lived in the south you owned small farms and did not own slaves. Free Southerners were mainly Scottish/Irish or German descent living in the upper part of the south. These farmers had enough crops to fulfill their needs and only needed their family members to provide the labor. The Louisiana purchase was signed on May 2nd and was ratified by the Senate in October and in December of 1803 France transferred the authority of the region to the United States. After the U.S. gained control of the territory slavery was banned in the Louisiana territory north of the Mississippi
