The southern region of the United States, particularly states like Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi, used slave labor to operate large plantations for crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane.
The Southern colonies, including Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina, had many plantations that primarily produced cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. These plantations relied heavily on enslaved African labor to cultivate and harvest the crops.
Tidewater plantations were large estates along coastal waterways in the Southern colonies, focused on cash crops and operated by enslaved labor. The back-country was the region beyond these plantations, characterized by smaller farms, subsistence agriculture, and a more diverse population including poorer settlers, small landowners, and indigenous peoples.
Plantations
Between large plantations in the Chesapeake region were smaller farms and settlements, as well as rivers and forests. These smaller farms typically belonged to poor farmers or indentured servants who worked on the plantations. The rivers provided transportation and trade routes, while the forests were a source of timber and raw materials.
The region of LARGE southern plantations was called the "Black Belt"
