Pretty much what it says in the title.

I know that plantations needed a large number of cheap labor, but are plantations the only option in the region? Could smaller farms not work, for example? Can we avoid having African slaves in the region?

This scenario assumes that the region is colonized by Europeans, as per OTL, although who gets what can change. I was actually thinking of a Dutch-speaking FRCA when this question came up.
