The tobacco revolution in Virginia and Maryland led to the creation of a slave-based plantation economy, as planters began to rely heavily on the labor of enslaved Africans to cultivate and harvest their tobacco crops.

The tobacco economy also contributed to the growth of the transatlantic slave trade, as Virginia and Maryland planters became major purchasers of enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa. There is no evidence to suggest that the tobacco revolution led to an increase in the enslavement of Native Americans or harsher working conditions for slaves, although both were already significant problems before the revolution. The profits of planters actually increased as a result of the tobacco trade, rather than diminishing.
