Sugar production has increased in mainland North American colonies, in Cuba, and in Brazil.
Enslaved Africans have become the dominant source of plantation workers, as they prove more resistant to the diseases of malaria and yellow fever.

European diseases such as smallpox have reduced the numbers of local Native Americans).
