Sugar cane was grown in India thous

Sugar cane was grown in India thousands of years ago. In roman times it was known in Europe as great luxury, and it was rare and expensive for many centuries after that. In 1493 Columbus took a sugar plant with him to the West Indies. Where it grew so well that huge plantations were started by Europeans and worked on by slaves. The slaves were shipped across the Atlantic from Africa, packed sometimes one on top of the other in chains, on a journey that took six weeks. Many died. The empty ships then carried the sugar back to Europe. So much money was made that sugar was known as ‘white gold’

Robovi su dobili preko Atlantika iz Afrike, pakiran ponekad jedan na vrhu druge u lancima, na putovanje koje je uzeo šest tjedana. Mnogi su umrli. Prazne brodovi tada nosio šećer natrag u Europu. Toliko novca je napravljen da je šećer bio poznat kao 'bijelo zlato'
