The English came to America primarily for a variety of economic opportunities, including gold, tobacco, and cotton. Initially, the quest for gold drove early explorers and settlers, but as they established colonies, tobacco became the dominant cash crop, especially in Virginia, where it significantly boosted the economy. Cotton emerged later as a crucial agricultural product, particularly in the Southern states, further entrenching the economic reliance on agriculture. Overall, while gold was a key initial motivation, tobacco and cotton became vital to the colonial economy.

What colony was known for growing tobacco?

Several different colonies exported tobacco and rice. I don't know about indigo. However, you should probably know that rice was not an exclusively American crop. I don't think it even came from America in the first place. Tobacco (and indigo, I think) definitely did come from America, however, and tobacco was a major cash crop for many American colonies.

What as the major economy of the southern colonies?

The south was an economy based on cotton, rice, indigo, and tobacco. If you look at the number of bales of cotton produced after the cotton gin was invented there is a direct relationship between the number of slaves and bales of cotton. Much of the cotton was sold to England and it was thought by the planters that the English would come to aid them in the civil war. The truth was the cotton wasn't needed by England because they all ready a lot in storage. The fact that the southern economy was not industrial is a big factor in loosing the civil war and the problems in recovery from the war.
