During the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, South Carolina sent rice to Boston. This act of solidarity was part of the larger colonial response to British taxation and enforcement measures. The rice was intended to support the people of Boston who were suffering due to the British blockade and other punitive measures. It exemplified the growing unity among the colonies against British rule.

Rice
Indigo was the major cash crop, but rice and cotton were a close second.
South Carolina exported several crops in the 18th century. Two of the major products were coal and tomatoes in 1710.
By the close of the seventeenth century, the main staple of the Carolina economy was rice cultivation. The fertile lowlands of the region, particularly in South Carolina, were well-suited for rice production, which became a highly profitable cash crop. The labor-intensive nature of rice farming led to an increase in the use of enslaved African labor, significantly shaping the social and economic landscape of the Carolinas. Additionally, indigo emerged as another important cash crop during this period.
South Carolina sent indigo to Massachusetts for their manufacturing needs of the garment industry. There was a huge market for low cost dyes both in the colonies, as well as in Europe. Many South Carolina planters switched to indigo when they saw rice prices plummeting.
