Many of the Colonies had paid some good money to set-up colonies for profit-making purposes; and they began to favor slave labor as a way of maximizing their profits after deciding what crops to grow.
labor shortages, slavery and cash crops led to the development of the Plantation system.
Sharecropping and Tenant farming were two systems that replaced the plantation system in the south after the Civil War.

labor shortages, slavery and cash crops led to the development of the Plantation system.
The plantation system in the South led to a stark divide between wealthy plantation owners and enslaved individuals who performed labor on the plantations. This system perpetuated racial and economic inequalities, as well as a dependency on slave labor for the region's prosperity. The plantation system also shaped the social structure and cultural norms of the South, contributing to the development of a distinct Southern identity.
