Tobacco was the best cash crop in the southern colonies :P
Cotton was the most important crop to the South. It was also important to Britain since much of the southern crop was sent to British mills and there were high hopes that Great Britain would recognize the Confederacy as a new nation. Tobacco was also important.
John Rolfe raised a successful tobacco crop in 1612. In 1619, it was the crop most people grew for profit.
The good humitidy made rice an easy plant to grow.
