In the American South, the main cash crop in the years between 1607 (the settlement of Jamestown) and 1700 was tobacco. John Rolfe introduced tobacco to the Jamestown colony and exports soared until the 18th century. After 1700, cotton started to become the main cash crop, but it wouldn't reach it's apex until the 1800's.
