Step-by-step explanation

                                                                                       Class features
 

The planters
This was the dominant class. They owned more slaves than any other social class. Approximately more than twenty. They were also referred to as the southern aristocrats. They were dominant in the slavery of African America. They got the permit from the Atlanta traders to access cheaper labor for their planting process and eventually harvesting.
 

The plain folks
The plain folks were the second-ranked slave owners. They had fewer slaves as compared to the planters. The plain folk had a close relationship with the planters. They owned land where they did their subsistence farming. They believed in hierarchal 
 

The hill people
They never had slaves at all. They were never on good terms with the planters and most of the occasions opposed them. 
 

The crackers
This was the lowest class rank amongst all the classes. They even lacked meals to consume. They at times opted for clay as their body needs thus falling even under the slaves in rank

Comparison of the blacks from the south and the whites from the north
The southern part had been dominated by farming activities while the northern part was full of industrialization. With time there was the formation of more industries in the north and this led to the demand for more labor. The northern part was known for medium and smaller landowners and never had slaves in their farms instead were the yeoman. This was because they had political freedom and economic self-reliance.

Slave resistance and slave rebellion 
Slaves resisted in different forms and both actively and passively. The methods varied, the common method which they applied was attempting to claim more freedom from their masters. They mostly did this at the workplaces. They could break their working tools, destroy the crops, fake sicknesses, or illegally learn the reading and writing skills.
 

Slave rebellion was more of drama. Though it was also a form of resistance. At points, the slaves could try to come into agreement with the colonists. Rebellions were mostly lead by literate individuals who were informed of what was happening in other parts of the world and got inspiration.
 

Slave resistance was more prevalent as compared to rebellion because it could be easily done at an individual level. This is much different from rebellion which had to take time to organize proper strategies for it to be carried out.
