Agriculture was key in the Southern Colonies due to the abundance of land that was fertile. Crops of Tobacco and Indigo are the focus of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia also grow Cotton and Rice. Many large plantations are established in the southern colonies when African slaves are bought by colonists here. This extra manpower for little-to-no pay helps to make the Southern colonies very wealthy.
