plantations and large family farms
One hundred years ago, plantations varied widely in size depending on the crop and region, but many were large-scale operations, often exceeding hundreds or even thousands of acres. In the United States, cotton and tobacco plantations in the South could be particularly expansive, relying on significant labor forces, including enslaved people and later sharecroppers. In other parts of the world, such as sugar plantations in the Caribbean or coffee plantations in Brazil, similar trends of large acreage and labor-intensive practices were common. Overall, the scale of plantations reflected the economic demands of the time and the agricultural practices in place.

The rivers provided transportation and trade routes, while the forests were a source of timber and raw materials.

The Chesapeake
By the late 1600s, the gap between the rich and poor in white Chesapeake society widened significantly. The wealthy elite became even more affluent due to the growth of large plantations and the reliance on enslaved labor, while poorer individuals struggled to compete in the increasingly unequal economy. This economic disparity contributed to social tensions and unrest within the region.
