American gentry
The American gentry were rich landowning members of the American upper class in the colonial South. The Colonial American use of gentry was not common. Historians use it to refer to rich landowners in the South before 1776. Southern plantations were operated by slave labor in Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas. Typically large scale landowners rented out farms to white tenant farmers. North of Maryland, there were few large comparable rural estates, except in the Dutch domains in the Hudson Valley of New York.
