Slaves were brought from Africa to work on these plantations, cultivating crops such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane. This system of plantation agriculture and slave labor was a key component of the Southern economy before the American Civil War.

    Slavehandel ble forbudt i hele USA i 1865. Dette skjedde med vedtakelsen av det 13. tillegget til den amerikanske grunnloven, som avskaffet slaveri og gjorde det ulovlig å handle med slaver. Dette var et resultat av den amerikanske borgerkrigen og den påfølgende seieren til nordstatene over sørstatene, som hadde vært avhengige av slaveri som en del av deres økonomi og samfunnssystem. Ved å forby slavehandel markerte USA et viktig skritt mot likestilling og avskaffelse av en grusom praksis.
