Key Concepts
As mentioned earlier, the Southern Colonies had a warm climate and rich soil, perfect for growing valuable crops. On large farms called plantations , colonists grew cash crops like tobacco and rice. These crops were not grown for the colonists to eat, but to be sold for a large profit in other places.
