The correct answer is: **It turned the South into a major producer of the cotton used in northern mills.**
The plantation system in the South focused heavily on the cultivation of cash crops, particularly cotton, which became a crucial raw material for textile mills in the North and, eventually, around the world. This economic dynamic played a significant role in shaping the overall economic landscape of the United States during the 19th century.
