Our major crops were rice and cotton. Rice needs low, wet areas for growth, and the SC Lowcountry, barely above sea level, was perfect. We still have a few rice plantations today, but we no longer ship rice all over the world as we did in the Colonial days. Our second crop was cotton. Cotton grows well in the hot Lowcountry as well. We still have a few cotton plantations also, but nobody gets rich from them like they did in those days.
