Jabari · Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Plantation owners from Barbados brought enslaved workers with them.

Slavery was especially common in the colony of South Carolina in that Plantation owners from Barbados brought enslaved workers with them.

South Carolina was an agrarian state. And as it happened in other Southern states, slavery was an important part of its economy. In 1670, many owners of plantations in Barbadoes brought slaves from that place to Carolina. People from South Carolina tried to imitate the lucrative plantation system in the Caribean island of Barbadoes to implement it in South Carolina.
