Economy in The Southern Colonies was based on plantations and slavery. The main crops that were grown were Indigo, Tobacco,Wheat, and Rice due to the easy irrigation from nearby rivers.The southern colonies (North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) had the warmest climate, rich farmland, forests and plenty of fish.
