Where was the first sugar plantation that used African slave labor?

The first sugar plantation that utilized African slave labor was established in the Caribbean, specifically on the island of Barbados in the early 17th century. The plantation system in Barbados marked a significant turning point in the transatlantic slave trade, as demand for sugar led to the widespread importation of enslaved Africans to work on these plantations. This model eventually spread to other Caribbean islands and parts of South America.
