money] Forbidden to marry. 1610-1614: only 1 in 10 outlived
their indentured contracts!

Tobacco’s effect on Virginia’s economy:
Vital role in putting VA on a firm economic footing.
Ruinous to soil when continuously planted.
Chained VA’s economy to a single crop.
Tobacco promoted the use of the plantation system.
Need for cheap, abundant labor: SLAVES!!!.
