When blue became the most popular color for eighteenth-century textiles, the indigo used became a major component in trans-Atlantic commodity chains. Feeser tells the stories of all the peoples who made indigo a key part of the colonial South Carolina experience as she explores its relationships to land use, slave labor, and fortune building.
