In the 17th century, as the importation of enslaved Africans increased, Virginia's economy became increasingly reliant on tobacco cultivation, which was labor-intensive. The use of slave labor allowed plantations to expand and produce more tobacco at lower costs, enhancing profitability for landowners. This shift not only entrenched the institution of slavery in Virginia but also shaped its economic structure, leading to a wealth disparity that favored plantation owners. As a result, Virginia emerged as a key player in the Atlantic slave trade and the broader colonial economy.

The value of money today is significantly lower than it was 100 years ago due to inflation. For example, $1 in 1923 would be equivalent to roughly $15-20 today, depending on the specific inflation rate considered.

Therefore, today's money reflects a much different economic landscape than that of a century ago.
