The plantation system
It appears to be settlers from Barbados
England granted land to eight proprietors in the South Carolina area in 1663. The first settlers came in 1670. They were mostly wealthy planters and their slaves emigrating from Barbados. They started growing sugar and cotton. They first kicked out the Native Americans, and then they refused to be ruled by the proprietors, seeking more direct representation. North Carolina was part of the same colony... it split off in 1729.
Planters from barbados
The colony you're referring to is South Carolina. In the 17th and 18th centuries, many English settlers, along with enslaved Africans, arrived in South Carolina, particularly from Barbados, to cultivate rice plantations. The region's climate and geography were conducive to rice production, leading to the establishment of a plantation economy heavily reliant on slave labor. This system significantly shaped the social and economic landscape of the colony.
