Answer:

· According to B. W Higman, the characteristics of the sugar revolution or changes it brought by were the following; “a shift from diversified agriculture to sugar mono-culture, from production on small farms to large plantations, from free to slave labour, from sparse to dense settlement, from white to black populations, and from low to high value per capita output.”The sugar revolution was the change from tobacco to sugar in the Caribbean. This transformation was caused by a fall in tobacco sales leading to the need for a new crop. During the 17th century, Europe needed a sweetner and hence the colonizers chose to move from tobacco to sugar.
