1767-Jan.-07: An economic analysis in the Affiches Américaines argued that the Southern (West Indies) colonies reached their current state of prosperity faster than northern colonies due to their climate. The author noted that sugar, indigo, and ginger were uniquely suited to warm climates and highly valued in the north. The essay also reflected on the global impact of the introduction of chocolate, tea, and coffee to Europe. It emphasized that the vast consumption of these products depended entirely on the availability of sugar produced in the Caribbean.
