Ch 3

The chapter starts off with talking about the production boom of tobacco.  Colonies on the Chesapeake bay were the first to prosper due to the production of tobacco.  The prices of tobacco raised but it was still profitable as long as it was grown on fertile soil. Although in 1660 Chesapeake tobacco prices plunged causing a depression.  The depression affected many servants, they came hoping for a better life but instead they found disappointment in Chesapeake.  The production of tobacco brought wealth and poverty to the colonies in Chesapeake.
