The main reason that the population of the British North American colonies rapidly increased during the eighteenth century was that the volume of slave trade increased a great deal. The number of black people in the colonies increased by 10 to 35+ times from the beginning of the eighteenth century until mid-century.
The African American population in the American colonies increased significantly from 1640 to 1760 primarily due to the transatlantic slave trade, which brought a large number of enslaved Africans to work on plantations, particularly in the Southern colonies. Additionally, the demand for labor in tobacco, rice, and indigo cultivation drove the expansion of slavery. By the mid-1700s, the population of enslaved Africans had grown, as enslaved individuals also had children, contributing to a self-sustaining population. The combination of these factors led to a marked increase in the African American population during this period.

In the 1700s, the African American population in the 13 colonies varied across regions. Estimates suggest that by the mid-18th century, around 20% of the total population in the Southern colonies were African Americans, the majority of whom were enslaved. In the Northern colonies, the African American population was smaller but still present, largely as free individuals.
Great Britain increased taxes on many items in the colonies.
Spanish, English, and French settlers arrived in larger numbers and this increased the ethnic diversity in the American colonies.
