Excerpt from Economics and Politics in Maryland, 1720-1750: And the Public Services of Daniel Dulany the Elder
Between Leah and Rachel, or the Two Fruitful] Sisters, as Hammond calls the colonies of Virginia and Maryland, were many points of likeness. To both the Chesapeake Bay with its branching rivers served as a common highway; in both the tidewater region afforded the same soil and very similar conditions of climate. Life, and especially agricultural habits, were, therefore, very much the same, and in each province these soon resulted in the production of one staple, tobacco cultivated by the labor of white servants or of negro slaves.
