Hey Gardneun! In their plantations in Brazil, the Portuguese chose to grow sugarcane as it was appropriate for the climate and it was practical and efficient for the slave work. It was also a good and required item in the slave cycle (that went from Europe to Africa, Africa to South America, South America to Europe).
Hope I was able to help! If you have any further questions, please let me know and I will further assist you!
Some white abolitionists worried about the effect free African Americans would have on society. The American Colonization Society then planned to send free African Americans to Africa to start new lives.
