Slaves were brought to South Carolina primarily through the transatlantic slave trade, where they were forcibly transported from West Africa to the Americas. Enslaved Africans were sold to plantation owners who needed labor for rice, indigo, and later cotton cultivation. The state's strategic coastal ports, such as Charleston, facilitated the importation of enslaved people, making it a key hub for the slave trade in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Once in South Carolina, they were subjected to brutal conditions as they worked on large plantations.
