Southerners primarily grew cash crops such as cotton, tobacco, rice, and sugarcane, which were central to the region's economy, particularly before the Civil War. The warm climate and fertile soil of the South made it ideal for agriculture. Additionally, subsistence crops like corn and vegetables were cultivated for local consumption. The reliance on plantation agriculture also led to the use of enslaved labor to maximize production.
