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 were often owned by a single family and worked on by said family's slaves, who were kept under guard by a sizable contingent of soldiers.
History
During the early 18th century, the Beckford and Drax estates owned the majority of the Caribbean's sugar plantations.[4][5] Because of the possible rewards obtainable from a successful raid, they were a promising though risky target for pirates. The pirate captain Edward Kenway once raided a Beckford-owned plantation on Mary Read's advice,[5] and continued to rob multiple plantations throughout the Caribbean, typically by looting money and resources from their warehouses.[6]
Up until September 1715, the Caribbean Templar Julien du Casse owned a small plantation on the island of Great Inagua. After Edward killed du Casse and took the cove for himself,[7] the plantation was maintained by the pirates.[6]
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. The Assassin Adéwalé raided all of these plantations during his time aiding the Maroon rebellion, not for their resources but to liberate their slaves, many of whom went on to join the rebellion.[8]
