John Rolfe introduced tobacco as a cash crop to Jamestown, Virginia, in the early 17th century. His successful cultivation of a sweeter variety of tobacco helped establish the colony's economy and made it a significant exporter. This move not only provided financial stability for the settlers but also contributed to the widespread demand for tobacco in Europe, leading to the growth of plantation agriculture in the region.
