rice plantation

Flooded crop estate

A rice plantation is a large agricultural estate devoted to cultivating rice, historically associated with slave labor in the American South, particularly in coastal South Carolina and Georgia.

The term carries the weight of that history—plantations were not merely farms but economic systems built on enslaved labor.

The old rice plantation has been converted into a historic site.
