What are grown on plantations during civil war?

Cotton and tobacco were the primary crops grown on plantations during the Civil War. These crops were essential to the economies of the Southern states, and their production was vital to the Confederate war effort.

Cotton was the most important crop, and it was grown primarily in the Deep South. It was used to make textiles, which were used for clothing, ammunition bags, and other military supplies. Tobacco was also a valuable crop, and it was used to make cigars and cigarettes for the troops.
