The word 'planter' was looping through my head. It sounds so benign, in its original sense of a person who plants bulbs or seeds in the ground. The more sinister second meaning was acquired late in the 16th century: the founder of a colony. By 1619, the colonising work of planters in Virginia had given rise to a third and more specific meaning: the owner of a plantation.
