Sugar planters supported the Whig Party primarily because the party advocated for policies that favored their economic interests, such as protective tariffs and internal improvements like infrastructure development. The Whigs' focus on modernization and economic growth aligned with the goals of sugar planters who sought to expand their operations and market reach. Additionally, the party's stance on issues such as land distribution and transportation infrastructure appealed to the agricultural elite, making it a natural choice for those in the sugar industry.
