In the nineteenth century South, white farmers primarily relied on a plantation system that focused on the cultivation of cash crops such as cotton, tobacco, and rice. They often employed enslaved African Americans as laborers to maximize their profits and maintain large agricultural operations. Many farmers also engaged in subsistence farming to support their families, but the economy was largely dominated by the wealth generated from slave labor and the export of these cash crops. This system contributed significantly to the social and economic structures that defined the region during this period.
