Women in the 1930s?
Women in the 1930's were treated very poorly. They could not vote, they wetre looked down apon and were treated very much like slaves.
Did Southern women during the Civil War have a hard time running the plantations alone?
I should think so Southern women pretty much ran the plantations anyway. The men just got the credit for it. The women trained the slaves, birthed babies for the slaves, nursed the slaves, kept finances, they did everything to make the man look clever. There was a clause in the Confederate draft laws that allowed an exemption from the draft for men who owned more than twenty slaves; therefore I would think that the majority of male plantation owners did not serve in the Confederate Army. This question is almost a ridiculous one due to the fact that only a small fraction of the southern population owned plantations, and those that did had slaves doing the laborious task of caring for the fields.

How much did slaves cost in 1750?
It all really depends on what skills and crafts the slaves had. They would pay more for clever and well developed slaves.
