On southern plantations, cash crops primarily included cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, and rice, which were cultivated for export and profit. In contrast, smaller independent farms typically focused on subsistence agriculture, growing a variety of crops such as corn, wheat, and vegetables to support their families.
