Where did sugar comes from and what part of the Hemisphere did sugar came from or did come from colubian?

we have a lot of sugar beet farmers around the thumb of michigan. some comes from the warmer areas and is called cane sugar. but just like everything someone had to try it first, and decide it tasted good. like the whole milk thing. who saw white stuff dripping from a cow and thought hmmm i think i'll try some of that.
