Plantations were highly successful in terms of profitability, particularly in the production of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee. They relied heavily on enslaved labor, which allowed for significant economic gains, especially in the Americas and the Caribbean. However, this success came at a tremendous human cost, contributing to social and economic inequalities and long-lasting impacts on society. Ultimately, while plantations were lucrative, their legacy is marred by the exploitation and suffering of countless individuals.
