Cotton was, and still is, a major crop of the southern states. During the antebellum period (the period before the Civil War), cotton was the main crop, which was planted, grown, tended and picked by the slaves.
The cotton crops were what helped the southern states flourish, bringing in more money than any other crops, making the plantation owners some of the wealthiest people in the union.
