Farming in the Southern colonies tended to wear out the soil, particularly due to the cultivation of cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. This intensive agriculture depleted nutrients and led to soil exhaustion, prompting settlers to seek additional farmland to the west. As a result, this demand for new land contributed to westward expansion and conflicts with Indigenous peoples.
