What was the difference between tobacco plantations and cotton and sugar plantations?
Tobacco plantations primarily relied on a labor-intensive model that utilized enslaved labor and indentured servants, focusing on a single cash crop that was labor-intensive to cultivate and process. In contrast, cotton and sugar plantations also depended heavily on enslaved labor but were often larger in scale and more integrated into global trade networks, especially with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. While tobacco was a staple in early colonial economies, cotton and sugar became dominant cash crops in the 19th century, driving demand for enslaved labor and contributing significantly to the economic structures of the American South and Caribbean. Additionally, sugar plantations were particularly notorious for their harsh working conditions and high mortality rates among enslaved workers due to the physically demanding nature of sugar production.
