Best Answer

In the Southern states of America and in the Caribbean during the 1700-1800s, the Planter class was composed of the whites who owned plantations growing sugar, cotton, tobacco, etc., and slaves. They were the upper class and considered higher than either free working people or slaves who were at the bottom.
