European colonists bought Africans for slave labor due to the need for cheap labor to cultivate cash crops, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, in the colonies. Africans were seen as physically capable and resistant to diseases like malaria, making them desirable as laborers. The transatlantic slave trade also provided economic benefits to European merchants and planters.
Competition with slave labor prevented most German and Irish immigration to the South. The cost of fertile land was also very high, and Europeans did not know how to grow cotton.
