On March 13, 1865, Confederate
President Jefferson Davis signed an act into a law to authorize slaves in the
confederate army. The act authorized Davis to request for a quota of additional
troops, irrespective of their color (i.e. he could request slave owners to give
their slaves over to the Confederate government so that they could be made soldiers),
but with the condition that the slaves recruited should not exceed 25% of the
able bodied male slave population between 18 and 45.

So this system of agriculture gave an upper hand to the land owners who belonged to the people of the white community and gave them an economic dominance also. It suppressed the lower sections of the society who were the tenants and who were dependent on the land owners for borrowing the land.
