- As his business grows, he gets more land and buys Native American slaves from the Triangular trade route.
- More people become consumers of the farmer's raw sugar material and demands him to grow more. During this time raw sugar material was very important to both the empire and its consumers.

- The Native American slaves that were brought in from the Triangular trade route, started to die off because of diseases such as small pox from the Europeans.
