The eastern part of Virginia relied on slave labor primarily due to its agricultural economy, which was heavily centered on cash crops like tobacco, cotton, and later, rice. The labor-intensive nature of these crops necessitated a large workforce, and enslaved Africans provided a cost-effective and readily available labor source. Additionally, the plantation system that developed in this region created a social and economic structure that perpetuated the reliance on slavery to maximize profits and maintain wealth among landowners. This reliance on slave labor became deeply entrenched in the social fabric and economic practices of the region.
