A sugar plantation on Saint-Domingue

Plantations are large farms that typically grow cash crops like sugarcane, tobacco, coffee, opium, tea, or cotton.[1] Widely prevalent and highly profitable throughout the Caribbean[2] and the growing United States in the 17th and 18th centuries,[3] they often were owned by a single family and worked on by said family's slaves, who were kept under guard by a sizable contingent of soldiers.

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]
