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

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
