What was the country’s staple in the south before the great migration?
a: buffalo
b: corn
c: dairy
d: guns
e: cotton

The correct answer is Corn. That was because it has almost infinite uses for anything. From cooking, making bread, making bourbon, feeding cattle, even sometimes used in medicine. It was the most important staple before the migration, but Tobacco was also important, especially in places like Virginia, a place so famous for tobacco that a type of tobacco is called after it.
