The chief crop in Georgia before the Civil War was cotton. This crop was central to the state's economy and heavily relied upon slave labor for its cultivation and harvesting. The cotton industry significantly contributed to the wealth of the plantation owners and played a crucial role in the broader Southern economy. The demand for cotton, especially in the textile mills of the North and Europe, fueled the expansion of plantations in Georgia.
