Whisky barrels.
Bourbon can only be aged in new, charred, American white oak barrels.
The once-used barrels are sold to other parts of the world (usually Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, and rum making regions)
More trees planted at a low cost.
More corn and grain can also be produced quickly at a low cost.
Whisky ages between 3 – 8 years in new barrels and can make a good $ margin. Even more so when exporting the bottled liquid.
Whisky is a huge player in building the North American economy. Even more so during the prohibition era
Oh.
And slavery. That helped a lot, too.
