To answer your question simply I would have to say: Sadly, yes.
I say sadly because the rice fields in South Carolina were the first use of slaves in an industrial manner... the Slaves were treated very harshly working from sun up to sun down...often working them to they died.
While we think of this type of treatment as being the normal way slave owners handled their slaves... it wasn't that way in the beginning and it wasn't until rice.

Which African country did English settlers import slaves to Antigua?
After the British colonized Antigua in 1632, the early settlers cultivated cotton and tobacco, which were exported to the United Kingdom. Towards the end of the 17th century, the poorer landowners continued to grow cash crops such as indigo, cotton, ginger or tobacco while the more wealthy ones were planting or preparing to plant sugarcane. Less than half the Antiguan planters possessed slaves but there were some, like Christopher Codrington and Phillip Warner, who had over a hundred slaves. Slaves were obtained from the Royal African Company, which had been given the monopoly of supplying slaves to all the British colonies. By the end of the 17th century, there were about 6000 slaves in Antigua. The planters preferred "Coromantees" since they were hard working and tractable but the Royal African Company lost their monopoly, which led the planters to trade with other suppliers and purchasing slaves from other tribes. About one-third of the slaves brought to Antigua at this time were females. These female slaves were very beneficial to the planters since they not only provided labour but sexual pleasures and consequently other slaves. More than 50,000 arrived between 1720 and 1755 and another 30 - 40,000 followed between 1755 and 1775.
How were Slaves prepared for sale?
As the slave ship came in sight of land the slaves were prepared for yet another sale. Those who had not died and were not too feeble to move were cleaned and oiled to make them look strong and healthy. In some ports the planters and buyers came on board ship to make their choice of the best slaves. More often slaves were sold by public auction on the towns. The planters might pay the captains in local money or give them credit notes to collect the money in Europe. More often the slaves were exchanged for sugar and plantation produce. There was usually much argument over the amounts to be paid depending on what the price for sugar was or whether the demand for slaves was high.
