Farmers migrated from Virginia to southeastern states in the Deep South due to the search for more fertile land and better agricultural opportunities. The invention of the cotton gin made cotton cultivation highly profitable, prompting farmers to seek out areas with suitable conditions for cotton production. Additionally, the availability of land at lower prices and the promise of economic prosperity in states like Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana further encouraged this migration. This movement was also influenced by the expansion of slavery, as plantation agriculture relied heavily on enslaved labor for its success.
