Cash crops needed a lot of people to work them and slavery was cheap.
Southern plantations primarily grew cash crops such as cotton, tobacco, rice, and sugarcane. Cotton became the dominant crop in the 19th century, particularly with the invention of the cotton gin, which made processing more efficient. Tobacco was also a significant crop earlier in the colonial period. These crops were labor-intensive and heavily relied on enslaved labor.
Although much is made of American colonial cotton plantations it was not the only crop grown.Cash crops such as sugar, maize, rice, tobacco etc., were grown.In addition crops for consumption were also cultivated. Wheat, maize, peas, beans et al.
There were many things true about Southern planters. Southern farmers often owned slaves, worked large plantations, and harvested crops like tobacco, cotton, and sugar.
The southern colonies had large, spread out plantations there, and the crops they grew were indigo,rice, and some of corn. ER......... hope that helped...........Sincerely,:3
