What effect did sugar plantations have on trade and colonialism

The most important effect of the sugar plantations on the people of America is that it helps them to build their own permanent settlement. The peopling of America settled down as sugar plantations became the more stable source of food for them. Moreover, the Surplus production also led people to focus on building societies.
Sugar was the main cash crop produced on the land of Caribbean throughout 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The main source of labor for this was enslaved Africans. Although Colonists brought Sugar production in the United States but they could not grow it on their own because the land was new for them. Colonists including English, French, and Portuguese then forced the Americans to start the Sugar plantation, which caused Slavery in the Caribbean for Africans, and permanent settlements for Peopling of America.
