c. slaveholders believed they enslaved people by providing food, shelter, and clothing while relieving them of responsibility.
d. white southerners who did not have enslaved workers found they were often treated like children by those who did.

Correct answer choice is :

In the antebellum South, slavery was the string that held the stuff of society together and described the southern woman. The Old South, as it would later be related to, was political, culturally, economically, and spiritually developed around the system of slavery. Slavery was the basis the strict southern regime was based upon. Race and gender defined a person’s status with white slaveholding males at the top and black female slaves at the bottom. Slaveholders, large and small, were at the summit of the Southern society and the feasibility of future slave buying kept non-slaveholding families attached to this paternalistic authority.
