In the 1800s, many white Southerners followed the Southern Code
1. and as a result free African Americans in the North were treated worse than enslaved African Americans in the South.
2. because they owned large plantations where they cultivated cotton, which was a major cash crop in the South.
3. because enslaved workers did work that was not considered “ladylike” or “gentlemanly.”
4. and as a result most of them did not have enslaved workers and disagreed with the practice of slavery.

The correct answer is because enslaved workers did work that was not considered “ladylike” or “gentlemanly.”

The Southern Honor code was an unwritten set of rules that revolved around social norms of the Southern states. This code focused on individuals in society acting with class, dignity, and honor. During this time, enslaved Africans were not treated like other individuals. This is due to the racist ideas of many southerners that considered these individuals inferior to whites. This failure to apply the Southern code to enslaved Africans resulted in harsh treatment of slaves without remorse from southerners.
