During the early 1700s, the use of African slaves became a critical part of South Carolina's economy. Why was this the case?
Growing rice and indigo (and later cotton) on huge plantations required lots of labor. African slaves were brought in to supply a large enough labor force.
Most of the settlers in South Carolina were from Elite families in England. They usually brought their slaves with them when they came to the New World
. During that time, violent wars were raging in West Africa. To avoid the violence,<br />Africans migrated to the New World to work on the plantations (they believed that life as<br />a slave was better than dying in a cruel war).
. South Carolina was the only American colony where slavery was legal. Therefore, all<br />slave owners moved to South Carolina.
