.who was the first planter to raise a successful crop of indigo in the 13 colonies
The use of indigo, which is a dye that can come from at least 5 different plants, was first used in the 7th century, BC. The plants from which indigo dye came were most likely weeds. No one knows who may have started raising plants containing indigo, as it was so long ago. Today, man-made indigo dye (not from plants) is the color used in blue jeans.
The first cash crop that was introduced to South Carolina was rice. After that was indigo and then tobacco.
English planters in colonial South Carolina.I believe the crop originated in Africa.
It was successful because they had help from the Indians. :]
Carolina rice was a profitable crop traded around the world. Settlers in southern Carolina later learned to raise indigo. (Indigo- A plant used to make a valuable blue dye.)~( That's how blue jeans got there color~ INDIGO)
