Who was forced to settle where tobacco was grown?

Indentured servants and enslaved Africans were primarily forced to settle in regions where tobacco was grown, particularly in the American colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. These laborers were essential to the tobacco economy, as the crop required intensive labor for cultivation and harvesting. Many indentured servants came to the colonies voluntarily under contracts, while enslaved Africans were forcibly taken from their homelands and subjected to harsh conditions on plantations. This system significantly shaped the demographic and economic landscape of the Southern colonies.
