Land-ownership in Africa meant more slaves and more space to farm and produce.
The African natives were uneducated and easy to overthrow, control, manipulate and exploit. Africa had large open stretches of land that the Europeans divided into enormous farms. Owning a farm was considered a luxury as land is scarcer in Europe. The farms were a novelty. They were also a means of income from selling crops and hunting game. Labour was cheap and no laws restricted the Europeans. Ivory and venison was also a means of income and entertainment.
All of this came down to one thing: money.
