d. The establishment of a rigid social hierarchy based on race
The plantation economy in the Southern Colonies heavily relied on enslaved labor, which led to a social structure that was deeply stratified along racial lines, giving rise to a rigid social hierarchy. This had significant cultural implications, shaping social relations, economic theories, and even laws regarding race in the region.
