Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cultivation of tobacco in Virginia required large tracts of land, so settlers established farms far away from each other. This resulted in a dispersed, rural population rather than congregating in urban areas. The Virginia Company had already been sending male laborers to the colony before the cultivation of tobacco became widespread. However, the division of large estates into smaller agricultural units did not occur as a direct result of tobacco cultivation.
