    South Carolina and the Georgia lowcountry were known for rice cultivation. Africans brought this planting technology with them from the Rice Coast of West Africa. Another important and extremely profitable crop was indigo, which was used as a dye. These crops made this region extremely profitable for the English.

    The South Carolina Colony was one of the 13 original colonies in America, which were divided into three regions including the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. The South Carolina Colony was originally one colony along with the North Carolina, which was founded in 1633 under the Charter of Carolina. In 1712 the original colony was divided into North and South Carolina. In 1729 the South Carolina Colony became a royal colony.

    South Carolina territory was very privileged, with natural resources as forests, fish, and land suitable for farming and large plantations. In this land, they grew a variety of crops including cotton, tobacco, vegetables, fruit, and livestock. The plantations in the South Carolina Colony were often massive, and the warm climate of the Southern Colonies made it suitable for farming and agricultural pursuits most of the year.

    But the main reason was the open use of slave labour, that along with the resources above, made this colony so profitable to the eight Lord Proprietors and to King Charles II.
