Slavery was integral to the economy of South Carolina, primarily due to its reliance on labor-intensive cash crops like rice, indigo, and later cotton. The region's geography and climate made it suitable for these crops, but they required a large workforce for cultivation and processing. Enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to meet this labor demand, as they provided a cost-effective and reliable workforce. Additionally, the plantation system in South Carolina created a social hierarchy that depended on the exploitation of enslaved people.
