Answer: Cuba

Explanation:

By mid 19th century Cuba succeed more than other Caribbean islands in sugar production because of its geography (plain terraines perfect for crops) and they also had better harvesting methods including steam engines, watermills, vacuum pans and enclosed furnaces, so production was high. Slavery stayed longer in Cuba compared to other Caribbean islands, which also contributed to their success.
