Plantations primarily relied on enslaved labor, particularly in the Americas, where enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to work on large-scale agricultural operations producing cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. This labor system was characterized by harsh conditions, long hours, and a lack of personal freedom for the workers. In some regions, particularly in the 19th century, indentured servitude and free labor also played a role, but enslaved labor remained the dominant force on many plantations.
