A. Virginia
Virginia had a large number of plantations, especially in the Tidewater region, where the economy was heavily based on cash crops like tobacco, which relied on plantation agriculture and slave labor. In contrast, the other colonies mentioned (Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire) had more diverse agricultural economies and did not have the same plantation system.
