Throughout the 17th and 18th century, plantations were widely prevalent and highly profitable in the Caribbean[1] and the growing United States.[2] Typically owned by a single family, they were normally worked by said family's slaves; guarded by a sizable contingent of soldiers; and grew cash crops like sugarcane, tobacco, coffee, opium, tea, or cotton.[3]
During the early 18th century, the Beckford[4] and Drax estates [citation needed] owned the majority of the Caribbean's sugar plantations. Because of the possible rewards obtainable from a successful raid, they were a promising though risky target for pirates.[5]
Up until September 1715, the Caribbean Templar Julien du Casse owned a small plantation on the island of Great Inagua. After the pirate Edward Kenway killed du Casse and took the cove for himself, the plantation was maintained by the pirates.[5]
During the 1730s, there were a number of sizable plantations on and around the island of Saint-Domingue, including those at Wellington and Tortuga, as well as a number near the town of Port-au-Prince.[6]
