Explanation:

During the period of colonization in America, the first cultivation began with tobacco. John Rolfe became the first person to cultivate tobacco in Virginia. After seeing the demand for tobacco in Europe, Rolfe imported seed from the West Indies and grow the plant in the Jamestown colony.
