Tobacco was the major cash crop in the Upper South, the original Chesapeake Bay Colonies of Virginia and Maryland, and in parts of the Carolinas.

The great majority of Southern farmers owned no slaves or owned fewer than five slaves. Slaves were much more expensive than land.
In the low country of South Carolina, even before the American Revolution, planters in South Carolina typically owned hundreds of slaves.
