Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rice cultivation required intense labor and the largest number of slaves on a single plantation were employed to grow rice. The labor-intensive process of planting, maintaining, and harvesting rice required specific knowledge and skills that enslaved Africans possessed due to their prior experiences with rice cultivation in West Africa. As a result, rice plantations in the southern colonies, particularly in South Carolina, relied heavily on enslaved Africans, and these plantations were often larger and more labor-intensive than other plantations.
