Between 1600 and 1700, Maryland and Virginia required workers primarily for the cultivation of tobacco, which became a lucrative cash crop in the region. The labor-intensive nature of tobacco farming led to a high demand for workers, prompting the reliance on indentured servants and later enslaved Africans to meet this need. The availability of fertile land and the growing European market for tobacco further fueled the demand for a steady labor supply. Consequently, the workforce became essential for the economic development of these colonies.
