Virginia and Maryland primarily grew tobacco as their main cash crop during the colonial period. This crop was highly profitable and became central to their economies, leading to the establishment of large plantations. In addition to tobacco, both colonies also cultivated crops like corn, wheat, and various fruits and vegetables to support local consumption. The reliance on tobacco significantly influenced social and economic structures in the region, including the use of enslaved labor.
