Hawaii is the Pacific state known for its large sugar plantations. Sugar production was a major industry in Hawaii for many years before declining in recent decades.
Plantations were begun on large pieces of land belonging to wealthy landowners or European colonizers. These lands were often used for cash crop cultivation, such as sugar, cotton, tobacco, or coffee, using forced labor, such as enslaved Africans or indentured servants. The profits generated from these plantations played a significant role in the economies of many colonies during the time of European expansion and colonization.
