1 янв 1555 г. - Tobacco Arrives in Europe

Описание:

Tobacco farms, predominantly found in the Chesapeake colonies of Virginia and Maryland during the 17th and 18th centuries, were small to large-scale agricultural operations focusing on the cultivation of tobacco, a highly profitable cash crop. The labor-intensive nature of tobacco cultivation, combined with high European demand, contributed to the expansion of indentured servitude and later the institution of slavery, profoundly shaping the social, economic, and political development of these colonies.
