Since there are over 20 slaves in the image, the plantation owner would be considered a member of the cottonocracy.

Reason: owning large numbers of enslaved people (commonly 20+ in antebellum South) marks someone as part of the wealthy planter/cottonocracy. The other statements are not supported by the image (cotton gin could increase slave labor; a steamboat doesn’t mean the Industrial Revolution ended; a small cotton patch doesn’t prove rice or tobacco were the main crop).
