Antebellum cotton plantations were primarily located in the Southern United States, particularly in states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and South Carolina. The region's warm climate and fertile soil made it ideal for cotton cultivation. These plantations became central to the economy and culture of the South before the Civil War, relying heavily on enslaved labor for their operations.
mainly farming and agriculture such as cotton and tobacco plantations, things like that
As a economic issue
Mainly, cotton, rice, tobacco, and sugar!
Plantations required slaves, and in the colonial period slaves from West Africa were taken to these plantations located in mainly the Carribean and Brazil. This influx of Africans is responsible for the high population of blacks in the modern-day countries that once held these plantations. The high black population also brought in much of African culture that still exists in these countries as well. When colonialism ended and these countries gained independence, they became very poor due in part to the fertile land being occupied by cash crops and not actual food (you can't eat cotton or tobacco). When these crops were eventually removed, the soil was completley destroyed in terms of fertility due to the aggresive nature of the cash crops they once substained. In summation, plantations are the main reason why almost all Carribean nations are so poor today.
in South Carolina there were mainly plantations so lots of big houses.
Slaves in the United States were commonly tasked with growing crops such as cotton, tobacco, rice, and sugar cane on plantations. These crops were labor-intensive and formed the backbone of the Southern economy during the antebellum period.
Just before the Civil War, in 1861, plantations were situated in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The state with presumably the most would be either South Carolina or Texas.

In the south, the colonies had plantations. Mainly cotton. They used slaves for free labor, so they would make more money. That way, they wouldn't need to pay them.
As a economic issue
Plantations existed more in the south mainly because of the slavery to farm them.
Mainly from Africa.
Cotton was mainly grown in the South due to its warm climate and longer growing season, which were favorable for cotton cultivation. The Southern states also had a larger number of slaves, which were used as labor for cotton plantations. In contrast, the Northern states had less favorable climate conditions for growing cotton.
Plantations are important because they sell crops that people needed such as sugar and tobacco and things like that which were mainly grown on plantations.
Because the Caribbean has such a tropical climate, many of the countries have established sugar plantations. It appears that the Netherlands did not establish sugar plantations in the Caribbean.
