What were the problems in the southern colonies

the southern colonies didn't have a very good economy until the cotton industry got rolling, but that caused a problem. Southern colonists had to begin using slaves to get work done which, later on, leads to the civil war.

The southern colonies faced a problem with cash flow. They made a living from agriculture and they only had cash at harvest time.

They also had a problem with labor. They started with indentured servants and then turned to slavery.

They also had a problem with the soil depleting because they didn't understand about fertilizing and crop rotation.
