Question

The Southern colonies supported plantation economics. This meant they had large farms and grew crops, which they exported. Which group of exports below would most likely have come from a Southern colony? cotton, indigo, and tobacco textiles, spices, and iron bars fish, whale products, and fur fish, rum, and iron bars

Answer 1

Cotton, Indigo, and Tobacco

Step-by-step explanation:

Exports were the raw materials that the colonists traded or sold to other countries. Each of the thirteen colonies exported a variety of resources. The Southern colonies, like Virginia and Georgia, grew crops of cotton, indigo, and tobacco for exportation.

Answer 2

Okay, let's think about this one. If the Southern colonies grew and exported crops (plants), then the right answer is likely to be a group of crops. Are fish, rum, and iron bars crops? Nope, those are diverse exports, but the South supported plantation economics. What about fish, whale products, and fur? No: these come from animals. Textiles, spices and iron bars aren't crops either. However, cotton, indigo, and tobacco are all crops. In fact, they're what are called CASH CROPS: they are farmed in large numbers on plantations and sold for a good sum of money, and they supported the Southern economy! "Cotton, indigo, and tobacco" is the right answer.

Answer: cotton, indigo, and tobacco
