The boll weevils are known for destroying cotton crops in the Southern United States, particularly in states like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas.
The boll weevils primarily devastated cotton crops in the Piedmont region of the Southern United States. The Piedmont region includes areas such as North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Georgia and Virginia. However, the impact of the boll weevil spread beyond the Piedmont region to other Southern states as well.
