Slave labor has traditionally been used by more powerful societies to perform tasks their own people don't want to perform. Slavery was common in ancient Rome, for example, and in the US South. Most slave owners were wealthy people who needed the slaves for manual labor such as working in the field or in a mine.

The Virginia colony turned to African slave labor primarily due to a shortage of cheap labor after the failure of indentured servitude as a sustainable source.

Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade provided a steady supply of enslaved individuals to meet the colony's labor needs.
