England's success in Barbados, particularly in sugar cultivation, greatly influenced the development of South Carolina by establishing a model for plantation agriculture. The wealth generated from sugar in Barbados prompted settlers and investors to replicate similar agricultural practices in South Carolina, leading to the cultivation of rice and indigo as cash crops. Additionally, the experience gained in managing labor, particularly through the use of enslaved Africans, was transferred to South Carolina, shaping its economic and social structures. This connection ultimately helped solidify the plantation-based economy that characterized the region.
people from Barbados had a rice plantation. they became overpopulated right in the 3rd Quarter of the 17th century. So wealthy people of Barbados couldn't give the children enough land to maintain their social status. so, people started looking to Carolina. so when they moved to Carolina frontier, they appreciated the value of rice. So they started to grow and live there. and how it all started.
