Initially the early European explorers were interested in finding a shorter and faster way to the riches of the far east. They found the Western Hemisphere instead. Once it became clear that the new found continents were not the way to the East, they discovered there was much wealth to be found within their new discoveries. So they sought gold, silver and other resources in the New World. Tobacco was a new crop for them and the land was also fruitful for the much needed crop of cotton.
