Answer:
The important cash crops were tobacco, rice, and indigo.
Explanation:
Many of the colonists who came to the southern colonies were rich aristocrats or businessmen from England and they wanted to become even more wealthy from owning land. The flat land was good for farming and so the landowners built very large farms called plantations. The crops that were grown were called cash crops because they were harvested for the specific purpose of selling to others. The cash crops of the southern colonies included cotton, tobacco, rice, and indigo (a plant that was used to create blue dye). In Virginia and Maryland, the main cash crop was tobacco. In South Carolina and Georgia, the main cash crops were indigo and rice. The cash crops grown in each colony depended on which crop grew best in that colonies’ type of soil. There were fewer towns and cities in the southern colonies because farming took a lot of land that was spread apart.
