The New England Colonies

Question 3 • WV-US Studies

Tobacco was significant to the development of the Virginia colony. Which effects were the result of tobacco farming? Check all the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
profit from the growth of cash crops
B
conflicts with Indigenous people over land
C
an influx of indentured servants
D
the establishment of the Headright system
E
disapproval from England

Explanation

Tobacco became Virginia’s major cash crop, bringing planters significant profits. Its labor-intensive cultivation increased demand for workers, including indentured servants, and encouraged expansion onto Indigenous lands, causing conflict. Virginia also used the Headright system to attract settlers and workers by granting land to those who paid for passage. Tobacco farming was profitable for England, so disapproval from England was not a typical effect.
