1880 Sugarland Spatial Showcase
Sugar Land, Texas, has a history deeply intertwined with convict leasing, a practice that involved leasing prisoners for labor to private enterprises. After the Civil War, Texas utilized this system to exploit cheap labor from predominantly African American prisoners. The Imperial Sugar Company and other plantations in the Sugar Land area relied heavily on convict labor to cultivate and harvest sugarcane.We are excited to present our immersive showcase of Sugarland in 1880, created using Spatial.io
