In the 1700s, much of the land farmed in the United States was located in the eastern colonies, particularly in regions like New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Southern colonies. Farmers cultivated crops such as tobacco, rice, indigo, corn, and wheat, with the Southern colonies focusing heavily on cash crops like tobacco and rice, often using enslaved labor. The fertile lands of the Ohio River Valley also began to be explored and settled during this period, setting the stage for westward expansion.
