First of all, tobacco is not good for no one and even in those times people knew this. People in those times loved it and it soon became in demand. Instead of using money they used tobacco and was so much in demand it was like gold. Soon people from around the world was wanting this commodity and it made people in the Chesapeake colonies to expand. By expanding, soon more English people came over and wanted land and in order to work that much land they had alot of indentured servants and farmers. At this time, was the beginning of enslaving of African slaves to work on tobacco plantations. The wealthy soon became even wealthier using indentured servants and African slaves so the white population and tobacco became increasingly large and wealthier.
