90% of the colonies were farms. The huge plantations needed workers to work the fields, so they used slaves.

What was the main cause for slavery?

The main cause of slavery was the demand for cheap labor, particularly in agricultural economies. As colonies and plantation systems expanded, particularly in the Americas, there was a need for a large workforce to cultivate crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. This demand led to the transatlantic slave trade, where millions of Africans were forcibly taken from their homes and subjected to inhumane conditions to fulfill labor needs. Economic interests, combined with racial ideologies, perpetuated and justified the institution of slavery.
