Cash crops were preferred by farmers throughout the southern states in the US. This was due to the fact that these crops could be sold for money. However, one of the downfalls of cash crops is that they are not always crops that could be used to provide food for your family. A perfect example of this is cotton.
Cotton was the most important cash crop of the 1800's. This resulted in thousands of farmers selling cotton rather than focusing on crops that could be used for food. This resulted in southern farmers heavily depending on trade for food and other resources.
