Which of the following occurred as a consequence of the "tobacco revolution" in virginia and maryland in the late seventeenth century? a) increased enslavement of indiansb) much harsher working conditions for slavesc) diminishing profits for plantersd) the creation of a slave-based plantation economy

Correct answer is D) The creation of a slave-based plantation economy.

Explanation:

Hello!

Tobacco production in Virginia and Maryland became the main crop of the colony, above corn or other food sources, because it was a highly lucrative business.

This situation produced a great traffic of slaves from Africa, who were forced to perform the tasks in the plantations. The use of slave labor was justified by economic reasons.

In this way, "tobacco revolution" laid the foundations for the creation of a plantation economy based on slaves, whose modality would later be replicated in other types of plantations, such as cotton plantations.
