Question

In which colonies was land divided in to large farms called plantations?

Middle Colonies
New England Colonies
Southern Colonies

Answer 1

Land was divided into large farms called plantations primarily in the **Southern Colonies**. These plantations were typically used for the cultivation of cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, often relying on slave labor for their operations. The Middle Colonies had some farms, but they were generally smaller and more diverse in their agricultural production. The New England Colonies, on the other hand, had a colder climate and rocky soil, which made large-scale plantations less feasible.
