Initially, farms in the South primarily consisted of small family-owned plots that grew a variety of crops, including tobacco, rice, and cotton. These farms relied heavily on labor, which often came from enslaved African Americans. Over time, larger plantations emerged, focusing on cash crops, particularly cotton, which became the dominant agricultural product in the region. The reliance on slave labor and monoculture farming significantly shaped the economic and social landscape of the South.
