Land abounded in the new Carolina colony. The challenge lay in finding a money-making crop and a labor force to produce it.

The Lords Proprietors who funded the colony directed the colonists to experiment in order to determine which crops would ultimately bring profits to their investment. To increase the labor supply, the proprietors promised European indentured servants the opportunity to own land and guaranteed each planter "absolute power and authority of his negro slaves." Almost as soon as they arrived, the colonists and their workers turned their hands and hoes to the back-breaking task of clearing land and planting.
