You likely live in the Southern colony of South Carolina, which was heavily influenced by Barbadian colonists who brought their plantation system and use of African slaves to work on rice plantations. This migration from Barbados helped shape the colony's economy and society.
Many English settlers and enslaved Africans from Barbados migrated to other Caribbean islands, particularly to places like Jamaica and the Leeward Islands, in the 17th century. This movement was driven by the search for new agricultural opportunities, particularly in sugar cultivation. Additionally, some settlers and enslaved individuals also moved to the southern colonies of North America, where plantation economies were developing similarly to those in Barbados.
