Indigo became an important cash crop in the American South largely due to the efforts of Eliza Lucas Pinckney in the early 18th century. She successfully cultivated indigo in South Carolina, experimenting with different varieties and farming techniques. Her work helped establish indigo as a significant export, alongside rice and tobacco, contributing to the region's economy. Additionally, the expertise brought by enslaved Africans, who had knowledge of indigo cultivation, played a crucial role in its development.
