Answer:

Saint Domigue’s economy was dependent on sugar plantations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sugarcane plantations were introduced in Saint Domingue by the Spanish colonizers, at the beginning of the 16th century.

The implantation of the sugar industry in this island was in charge of the most important sectors, that began with the trapiches, that is, a rudimentary and small sugarmill moved by a mule or an ox, in principles and then by black slaves.

The development of this activity allowed then larger mills, which used a water wheel, or a windmill so the production of sugar was increasing. As a result, the increase of the slave population became necessary.

By 1520, three sugar mills were operating and many others were under construction. In 1527, 20 sugar mills worked fully, and another 12 were under construction.
