The capture of Native Americans for slavery became the early economic basis of the Carolina colony. It affected mostly in South Carolina.
EXPLANATION
In 1663, the South Carolina Colony was discovered. British was the founder of South Carolina. South Carolina was part of 13 colonies. This area was uncovered by eight nobles through the Royal Charter of King Charles II.
South Carolina is also part of the South Colony group; along with North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia. South Carolina has become one of the richest colonies with exports of rice, cotton, tobacco and dye values. So the economic wheel in this colony depended on plantation labor, which means it would need slaves to run production.
The landowners of South Carolina obtained slaves and slavery through the West Indies’ trade. Yet, the slaves were brought in straight from Africa once Charles Town was built and became the major port. It created an important population of the slave in South Carolina as the request of slave labor under the plantation system grew enormously. Even in the 1700s, the population of slaves was almost double that of the white population.
Yet, the South Carolina slave trade was not limited to African slaves and so did the American Indian slave trade. More American Indian slaves exported to the British West Indies and other British colonies. This trade continued for almost four decades, until 1680. The Yamasee War was settled by peaceful negotiations which finally helped to end this slave trading activity.
