Slaves were bought do field work. They were sold for profit and sometimes because they were prisoners of war or criminals and the people holding them wanted to get rid of them.

when the europeans first came to the Americas they brought diseases which the native Americans weren't immuned to. therefore they died and the europeans had no one to work and farm the lands. they knew that africans had immunity so they enslaved them and brought them to the Americas. another reason native Americans died was because the europeans had guns and were in constant warfare with them.
