Southern states primarily depended on agriculture for their economic prosperity, with cotton being the most significant cash crop. The reliance on slave labor to cultivate cotton and other crops, such as tobacco and sugar, was central to their economy. Additionally, the South engaged in trade with both northern states and international markets, exporting raw materials and importing manufactured goods. This agricultural economy shaped the social and economic structures of the region.
