Slavery was so lucrative that the Mississippi River valley produced more millionaires per capita than any other region of the country.

With cash crops like tobacco, cotton, and sugar cane, the southern states of America developed into the country's economic engine. Slavery, as it was mostly practiced in the South during the middle of the 1800s, contributed to the North's affluence and industrialization. Southern cotton was shipped to northern companies, which produced cotton goods. These goods were transported from northern ports to ports elsewhere in the world. Slavery grew on a much larger scale in the southern colonies because the climate and soil were ideal for the production of commercial (plantation) crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo.
