The Europeans got other Europeans at first to work on plantaions however they could not manage working in the hot sun and eventually got sick or died.So they need other people who are more accustomed to the climate. Africa being close or even hotter in climate the Africans were the logical choice. Thus they went to Africa and traded weapons, ammo and other things that were mass made in their country for war captives, who were in turn taken to the Caribbean and sold as slaves.
