Indigo was a highly-valued crop in British colonial Florida. One of the oldest and most-durable of dyes..
Eliza Pinckney significantly impacted the Southern economy by pioneering the cultivation of indigo as a cash crop in the 18th century. Her successful experiments with indigo production led to its widespread adoption, boosting the economy of South Carolina and contributing to the region's reliance on agriculture and slave labor. This innovation not only increased wealth for planters but also positioned indigo as a vital export, helping to shape the economic landscape of the Southern colonies.
In the period between 1600 and 1700, the south shifted from simple farming, and planting a variety of plants, to cash crop farming. Cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo proved very profitable for southern planters, who acquired more and more slaves and land to take advantage of the crops. At the time, cotton had not yet been introduced, and there was no way of knowing what a huge cash crop it would eventually became.

The southeners, because they used slaves for their main cash crop.
By the close of the seventeenth century, the main staple of the Carolina economy was rice cultivation. The fertile lowlands of the region, particularly in South Carolina, were well-suited for rice production, which became a highly profitable cash crop. The labor-intensive nature of rice farming led to an increase in the use of enslaved African labor, significantly shaping the social and economic landscape of the Carolinas. Additionally, indigo emerged as another important cash crop during this period.

The main cash crops were tabacco, indigo, corn, rice, and cotton.
Rice was not a cash crop for the southern colonies but tobacco, indigo, and corn wheat were. In addition, perhaps the biggest cash crop grown in the southern colonies was cotton. The South grew to rely so heavily on cotton and the money it generated that it began to direct their society, leading to the Southern dependence on slavery.
