Tobacco
• When the North American colonists did not find gold, they were forced to find other ways of making money.
• In 1613, Virginia colonist John Rolfe harvested the first crop of tobacco to be sold in England.
• Virginia tobacco was soon in high demand! • Other colonies in the Chesapeake area found that they too could make huge profits growing tobacco.

Indigo
• Indigo is a plant from Asia used to make a bluish-purple dye for clothing.
• Early colonists found that the climate in the southern region of North America was ideal for cultivating indigo crops.
• In southern colonies such as Georgia and South Carolina, Indigo was second only to rice as a cash crop.

Rice
• Around 1700, colonists discovered that the swampy “low lands” of South Carolina were ideal for rice cultivation.
• For the next century, the colony prospered and grew, thanks to this profitable cash crop.
• Later, the Georgia colony also prospered from rice cultivation.

Cotton
• Cotton plants produce a soft, fluffy fiber that can be used to make textiles.
• Early colonists learned that the climate and soil in the southern colonies were ideal for growing cotton.
• Raw cotton was shipped to England’s textile mills.
• The invention of the cotton gin sparked a cotton “boom.”
• By the middle of the 19th century, the southern economy was almost entirely based on cotton production.
