The principal cash crop of the Southern states before the Civil War was cotton. The invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century significantly boosted cotton production, making it highly profitable and central to the Southern economy. This led to the expansion of plantations and a reliance on enslaved labor for cultivation and harvesting. Cotton became known as "King Cotton," symbolizing its economic importance to the region.
The economy of the southern states(not colonies) was dependent on large plantations due to the production of cotton, the souths cash crop during the 1800's.

Rice was not a cash crop for the southern colonies but tobacco, indigo, and corn wheat were. In addition, perhaps the biggest cash crop grown in the southern colonies was cotton. The South grew to rely so heavily on cotton and the money it generated that it began to direct their society, leading to the Southern dependence on slavery.

Settlements in the southern United States, particularly in states like Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia, were best known for cash crop farming. Cash crops such as tobacco, cotton, rice, and indigo were widely cultivated in these regions due to their favorable climate and fertile soil.
Cash crops is a term given to crops that people grow solely to make a profit off it, not necessarily because they need it to survive. An example of this is cotton production in the southern United States in the 19th century.
