What did the South use before outhouses?

Pits/trenches. While you stood/squatted bare foot over them, worms would enter your body through your feet.

Outhouses that didn’t bury waste well past 4 feet.

Can see a comparison at 11:05 of the 1920 Rockefeller educational video https://youtube.com/watch?v=OD-sDlSDrKk
