The tobacco industry in the South was primarily developed through the cultivation of tobacco as a cash crop, which became economically significant in the 17th century. The introduction of labor-intensive farming techniques, along with the establishment of plantations, relied heavily on enslaved African labor. Innovations in processing and marketing, such as the development of the Bright Leaf tobacco variety, further boosted production and profitability. Additionally, the demand for tobacco in Europe played a crucial role in solidifying its status as a key industry in the Southern economy.
