Answer:

During the antebellum years, wealthy southern planters formed an elite master class that wielded most of the economic and political power of the region. They created their own standards of gentility and honor, defining ideals of southern white manhood and womanhood and shaping the culture of the South. To defend the system of forced labor on which their economic survival and genteel lifestyles depended, elite southerners developed several proslavery arguments that they levied at those who would see the institution dismantled.

Collective ownership, at it's core, represents ownership of something, most commonly land and industrial assets, from all members of a group for the mutual benefit of all. This was implemented in most of the socialistic countries, but still the main and dominant owner was usually the government itself, while the people had shares in most of the industries and land.
