Answer:

Plantations and slavery were historically associated with the exploitation of enslaved individuals for labor.

Explanation:

Plantations were large agricultural estates where crops were cultivated for profit. Slavery, on the other hand, involved the ownership and forced labor of individuals, often from marginalized communities, on these plantations. Enslaved individuals were treated as property and were subjected to harsh living and working conditions, with limited or no personal freedoms.

The relationship between plantations and slavery existed as plantations relied heavily on the labor of enslaved individuals to maintain their operations and generate wealth for their owners. This exploitative system perpetuated the cycle of oppression and exploitation of enslaved people, contributing to the dark history of slavery in various regions.
