Question

Why did economically disadvantaged white people not see a common cause with enslaved people?

Answer 1

Economically disadvantaged White people did not feel the same as enslaved people because they felt enslaved people were beneath them.

What was the attitude of poor White people to slavery?

Even though owning enslaved people was something that was limited to rich Whites, poor Whites in the South supported the practice.

This was as a result of the need for the Poor Whites to always feel in some sort of position of power over African Americans even if their lives weren't much better.
