Explanation:

Question 15

To determine the crop that transformed Carolina's economy, we recall historical context: Rice cultivation, introduced with the help of enslaved West Africans, became a major cash crop in Carolina, driving its economic growth. Cotton became prominent later, tobacco was more associated with Virginia, and sugar with Caribbean colonies.

After 1492, the trans - Atlantic slave trade brought millions of Africans to the Americas (especially for labor in plantations) over three centuries. While Spanish, French, and English settlers came, the number of Africans (enslaved) was the largest demographic group arriving in the Americas during this period.

A. Rice
