People in the south make a living by farming
In the period between 1600 and 1700, the south shifted from simple farming, and planting a variety of plants, to cash crop farming. Cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo proved very profitable for southern planters, who acquired more and more slaves and land to take advantage of the crops. At the time, cotton had not yet been introduced, and there was no way of knowing what a huge cash crop it would eventually became.

Terrace farming involves building steps or platforms on hillsides to create flat areas for agriculture in mountainous or hilly terrain.
