Barabados was an iland which had the idea characteristics to produce sugar: climate, soil and weather. This is he reason why it became a sugar empire in the mid 17th century, and certainly, the growing sugar production also demanded another resources such as firewood to boil the cane juice to obtain sugar, and in general, all the resources to sustain the population. Due to these cirsumstances, it became necessary to expand, initially to jamaica, but the soil was not equally productive, so, after certain negotiations between the Protuguese and Spanish and the British Crown, the sugar cane production was taken to Carolina, explaining the economic gowth of the colony.
There is still a strong cultural connection between the states of Carolina and Barbados, noticeable in aspects such as language, traditions an many other.
