Carolina rice plantations were heavily dependent on enslaved labor, primarily sourced from West Africa. Enslaved Africans brought with them agricultural knowledge and skills, particularly in rice cultivation, which were essential for the success of these plantations. The transatlantic slave trade facilitated the importation of thousands of enslaved individuals to the Carolinas, where they worked under brutal conditions to produce rice for export. This reliance on slave labor significantly shaped the economic and social landscape of the region.
northern farms were mainly family farms southern farms more like plantations where based on a slave economy
The upper South did not have to rely as heavily on slave labor because their farms were smaller. The lower South had huge cotton plantations.
slave plantations started in the first 13 colonies...it started in the years of1820 thru 1860
English involvement in the slave trade was stimulated by the development of plantations in Jamaica.
Plantations, which were common in the American South and in the Caribbean. Features of these large agricultural concerns were the use of African Slave labor, monoculture (the growing of only one crop usually sold for cash, Cotton primarily in the South but also rice in the South Carolina Low Country, and of course sugar in the Caribbean) and the use of overseers and managers. The owners were usually absentee (living elsewhere) especially in the Caribbean.
