Yes, the southern colonies did have plantations where crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo were cultivated. These plantations relied on a labor force that included both indentured servants and enslaved Africans. The institution of slavery became more prevalent in the southern colonies due to the expansion of plantation agriculture.
