Slaves from the Gold Coast, which is present-day Ghana, were often transported to various regions in the Americas and the Caribbean, where they worked on plantations. Some of the primary crops they worked on included:
1. **Sugar**: The Caribbean islands, such as Jamaica, Barbados, and Saint Domingue (now Haiti), had large sugar plantations.
2. **Tobacco**: Some enslaved people worked on tobacco farms, particularly in the colonies that would become the United States, such as Virginia and Maryland.
3. **Cotton**: In the southern United States, particularly in the 19th century, many enslaved individuals worked on cotton plantations.
4. **Rice**: Enslaved people also worked on rice plantations, particularly in the low-country regions of South Carolina and Georgia.
These plantations relied heavily on the labor of enslaved Africans, including those from the Gold Coast, to produce these economically vital crops.
