In the 1840s and 1850s (but well before and for some time after), the most important crop in the agricultural region of the American South was cotton. By this time known as "King Cotton", the bumper-crop of the South was so lucrative (because it was so much desired around the world) that it was almost exclusively raised by Southern planters. This strength was also the South's weakness, as it undermined more general agricultural and industrial development while also committed the South to maintaining (and even growing) its slave population.
The development of a more modern agricultural economy was hampered by the South's reliance on a single cash crop and sharecropping, which sent it into deeper poverty and debt.Simplified: Sharecropping & Reliance on 1 Cash Crop
