Answer 1

Answer:

plantation farming in the Southern colonies provides a fast overview of this particular system of agriculture. The facts provide answers to many questions raised about the difference between large plantations and small farms, the type of crops planted, the climate required to successfully raise plantation crops, the necessity of a large, cheap labor force to increase profits on a plantation, the use of slaves on plantations and the significance of foreign trade and exports on plantation economy.

Explanation:

Plantation Farming was a system of agriculture in which large farms in the American colonies used the enforced labor of slaves to plant and harvest cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco and other farm produce for trade and export. In plantation farming crops were planted on a large scale with usually just one major plant species growing. The system of Plantation farming was based on 'cash crops' in which plants were sold for profits in distant markets and not used for personal use (subsistence farming) on the plantations.
