Answer:

Cotton

Step-by-step explanation:

The plantation was established in 1831 by Joel Johnson, from a prominent planter family in Scott County, Kentucky. He arrived with 23 enslaved people and set up a forced labor camp to produce cotton, an endeavor that made him one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the state.
