Most of the land in the south was perfect for farming all year round causing many southerners to be farmers so they could get rich off selling cash crops, which were certain plants that was very high in demand in trade causing it to have a high price when sold like cotton and coffee. With so many farmers in the south exporting crops and very few other jobs making up the south's income it had a big impact on their economy. So when production of cash crops goes up it causes the south's economy and if it goes down so does the economy.
