The crops grown in the new colonies, sugar cane, tobacco, and cotton, were labor intensive, and there were not enough settlers  or indentured servants to cultivate all the new land.
Der Anbau von Zuckkerrohr, Tabak  und Baumwolle in den neuen Kolonien war arbeitsintensiv und es gab  nicht genug Siedler oder Schuldknechte, um das ganze neue Land zu bestellen.
