Lesson Overview
Beyond Barbados Part 3- The Barbados Adventures video segment focuses on the growth and wealth of Barbados with sugar cane as the cash crop. It notes that Europeans developed plantations throughout the island of Barbados which became detrimental to their continued survival in Barbados and began to seek a new area to colonize to support Barbados. This led to Europeans colonizing what later became South Carolina. The video notes that the plantation system used in Barbados was transplanted to South Carolina.
