In the Southern colonies, large farms were called plantations, and they were typically run by wealthy landowners known as planters. These plantations often focused on cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. The labor on these farms was primarily provided by enslaved Africans, which played a significant role in the economy of the region. This system contributed to the social and economic disparities that characterized Southern society.
The Middle Colonies had farms but not plantations. Southern Colonies had plantations and farms. (The plantations were bigger than the farms.)

The region of small farms in the southern colonies was called the "yeomanry." These small farms were typically owned and operated by families who were not large landowners, but rather worked their own land to produce goods for themselves and for sale. The yeomanry was an important part of the economic and social fabric of the southern colonies.
