The megaliths can simply be defined as large stones that are forming a monument from the prehistory, or are part of a monument of the prehistory. There are numerous megaliths found around the globe, with some being more famous than others, such as Gobekle Tepe and Stonehenge. All of the megaliths are surrounded in mystery, as the historians still can not provide proper answers about their building, or the transportation of these stones, as they have been brought from areas far away from where they have been built. The main theories are that they have been built fro either astronomical purposes, or for religious purposes. The transportation of these stones is still subject of hot debate, with theories that wood has been used for their transportation, the rivers have been used (where there are rivers), some technology that still has not be defined about this period of time.

The sugar, molasses, cotton and tobacco trade increased demand for slave labor to cultivate said crops.

Molasses fermented into rum was done in Europe and later in New England. Rum became a major export commodity for New England opportunists; put in casks made from their wood mills, along with the shipbuilding connections.
