Anxieties of White Mississippians Regarding Slavery Introduction In Bradley G. Bond's book Mississippi: A Documentary History, the author describes in great detail the restlessness and anxiety that white folks in Mississippi felt with reference to the institution of slavery.

Antebellum Slavery The Code Noir was a law that was enacted in Louisiana in 1724, likely the first such law that was designed to lay out in particulars as to what was expected of slave owners and slaves. At that time in Mississippi, there was a great deal of tobacco and indigo being grown but not a lot of cotton. When landowners began to realize that cotton was more profitable and in greater need in Europe and elsewhere, they started planting cotton in much greater quantities; and that, in turn, required more hands to do the labor. Hence, the demand for slaves increased as the boom in cotton growing began in the 1790s (Bond, 65).
