Columbus introduced sugar cane to the Caribbean and his son opened the first plantation. They were the originators of this brutality.
So many Caribbean people died on these plantations that they eventually had to start bringing in slaves from Africa.
Average lifespan once there was only 7 years.

Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.
That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.
