| | Tobacco and Staple Agriculture |
| | In 1613, John Rolfe grew a crop of "sweet-scented" tobacco from seeds imported from the Caribbean, rather than the harsh strain of tobacco that was native to Virginia. | | | Virginia's economy was directly dependent upon the weather conditions for growing and harvesting tobacco, and the price paid for tobacco by customers outside Virginia, until after World War I. Staple agriculture puts all of a region's economic eggs in one basket, in contrast to a diversified economy. | | | Initially, tobacco was exported directly to England, France, Holland, the Carribean Islands, and South America. |
