Answer 2

The correct answer is 2.

Plantations were very important in the American South, especially after the American-Civil war.

The south's mild subtropical climate, plentiful rainfall, and fertile soils allowed the settlers to establish a large quantity of plantations all over the land. The agricultural production was carried out by slaves brought from Africa.

Crops cultivated during this era included cotton, tobacco, sugar, indigo, rice, and along with some okra, yam, sweet potato, peanuts, and watermelon.
