Answer:

Rice

Step-by-step explanation:

Slaves newly arrived in South Carolina were needed in the rice fields. During the 1700s, rice became the colony most valuable staple crop. The achievement of rice farming became a success in the coastal region due to the farming skills of the slaves. Planters in South Carolina demanded slaves with greater capacities as they were required to work in the fields with rice-growing skills which they brought from Africa.
