Imperial Sugar

Imperial Sugar Imperial Sugar was known to be one of the largest sugar processing plants in the United States. The company employed over four hundred employees and contractors at its plant located In Port Wentworth, Georgia, just outside of Savannah. The facility covered over one hundred acres of land and is bordered by a river. The facility used conveyors to transport stored sugar from silos to the necessary areas throughout the plant. The Port Wentworth plant takes raw sugar cane and creates sugar, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and numerous sugar products. This seemingly harmful food turned deadly when it was mishandled creating a series of explosions killing fourteen employees and injuring thirty-six additional employees. (Board) My goal…

Just east of the Brazos River, lies the land now known as Sugar Land. It was originally owned by the Mexican government and was acquired by Stephen F.

The land was rich with tall sugar cane, which explains the name. Williams brother, Nathanial, purchased the land from him in 1838 and at some point, built the Oakland Plantation. There he began…

Are dead.” And I’m lying on the gray, tile…

This part of the researching sugar as a commodity looks at the plights and lives of sugar workers throughout the West and East, mainly focusing on the worker’s experience and how they are treated by government and politics. A common trend found throughout research was that most sugar workers in former colonies and European owned colonies were mistreated and ignored by their respective governments, which led to various reactions such as worker’s strikes and cultural movements.

However, some aspects of everyday life are not what you would expect from a nation of such importance. Firstly, the US customary units of measure, derived from the ancient imperial units, are still in use today in the US, Liberia and Burma. This non-coherent system of measures is difficult, even for the people raised in the country itself. My brother Victor Salas, 13, explains that although he was taught the imperial system at school, he would rather use the metric system, for its simplicity and…
