Tobacco in the American Colonies : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tobacco in the American Colonies
Tobacco cultivation and exports formed an essential component of the American colonial economy during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tobacco plantations were distinct from other cash crops in terms of agricultural demands, trade, slave labor, and plantation culture. Many influential American revolutionaries, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, owned tobacco plantations, and were financially devastated by debt to British tobacco merchants shortly before the American Revolution. ==Early cultivation== John Rolfe, a colonist from Jamestown, was the first colonist to grow tobacco in America. He arrived in Virginia with tobacco seeds procured on an earlier voyage to Trinidad, and in 1612 he harvested his inaugural crop for sale on the European market.〔Brandt, p.20〕 Rolfe’s tobacco operation was an instant boon for American exports, and English demand increased camee morrow cheap American leaf depressed prices.
