white people pacify the slaves to the black people....
The Chesapeake area gained slaves to work the lands. They first started out as indentured servants but that changed after whites began to fear the black population will gain too much power. In 1790, the slaves were freed due to the depletion of the land.
Yeoman didnt own slaves and they made up the largest group of whites in the south
The new territories were made up of whites witch also wanted slaves to work on their plantations so they could make a profit so the slaves were being sold for more money and therefore meant that they were higher in value to people
Fighting on the union side was one way to ensure freedom for slaves.

The first recorded use of Africans as slaves in the American colony was in 1619. 20 of them were transported to the Virginian colony. Although, before and after that, whites tried to use American Indians as slaves. They proved to be useless due to their "wild instincts". They had no clue how to work on a plantation. Even after that, some poor whites were taken from England and Ireland to be used as slaves. Both of those ideas vanished quickly due to sudden and fatal problems.

The whites who had slaves are all dead. Get over it.
Never mind, I found the answer myself. "Of the 27 million whites counted in the 1860 census, 8 million lived in the slave owning states of the South. Of these, 385,000 owned slaves. Statistically, 4.8% of all Southern whites owned slaves. When factored by the entire population, 1.4% of all United States whites were slave owners."
The South worried since the number of representative in the House of Representative is chosen by the size of the population per state and since slaves made a large proportion of the population in the South compared to the Whites... That without the slaves being included in the population of the Southern states they would have a much smaller number of representatives in the Congress.
Southern whites were reluctant to emancipate their slaves because slaves were their livelihood. Slaves did all the dirty work such as farming and house hold chores.

ANSWER:Not all Whites in the South owned land, nor did they have slaves. Many Whites were just as poor as the Black slaves. Many had to hire themselves out to do work for the wealthy land owners.Some Whites were sharecroppers with powerful plantation owners. Of course the wealthy land owners would take advantage of the Whites, just as they did with their slaves.
Because the whites thought they were "superior" to the blacks. So when the slaves didn't want to work, they were abused.
because the black not as good as the whites, so the whites catch then black and send them to work for the whites
Whites were affected because they could no longer have slaves. Slaves provided them with the majority of their income. Without slaves, many white lost their wealth.
