High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The tobacco colonies were those that lined the sea-level coastal region of British North America known as Tidewater, extending from Delaware south through Maryland and Virginia into the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina (the Albemarle Settlements). During the seventeenth century, the European demand for tobacco increased more than tenfold. It was largely supplied by production in the Chesapeake.The development of tobacco as an export began in Virginia in 1614 when one of the colonists, John Rolfe, experimented with a plant he had brought from the West Indies, Nicotania tabacum. In the same year the first tobacco shipment was sent to England. After the first shipment was completed the British prized this new tobacco product. The reason why they prized the tobacco so much was because it became a way to show one's wealthiness to the public. Only those of highs status could afford this new product. As the popularity of tobacco grew it became the savior of the colonies.
