Southern colonists primarily grew cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, which were highly sought after in European markets. The warm climate and fertile soil of the region made it ideal for agriculture. Additionally, they cultivated corn and wheat for local consumption. The labor-intensive nature of these crops often led to the use of enslaved labor on plantations.
