Sea Island Cotton

from Lowcountry Gullah · host Mean Ole Lion Media

When most people think about slavery, they instantly think that tobacco and cotton were the main crops. And yes, they were, BUT along the sea island's the major cash crops were rice, indigo and sea island cotton. The type of cotton that was grown here was not only difficult to grow, but it was a better more luxurious fiber that Gullah Geechee ingenuity and skills made it sought after worldwide.
