The French Huguenots improved the economy of South Carolina through their knowledge of growing rice and raising cattle.
To determine the answer to this question, we can use a process of elimination based on our knowledge about the French Huguenots and their impact on the economy of South Carolina.
Option 1: Knowledge of business and craftsman skills.
While the Huguenots were known for their skill in various crafts, including weaving and pottery, they were not specifically renowned for their business skills. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Option 2: Knowledge of growing rice and raising cattle.
This option is likely correct. The French Huguenots brought with them knowledge of cultivating rice, which became a major cash crop in South Carolina. Additionally, they introduced methods for raising cattle, which contributed to the development of the livestock industry in the region.
Option 3: Knowledge of trapping and producing textiles.
There is no historical evidence to suggest that the French Huguenots had a significant impact on trapping or textile production in South Carolina. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
