Then a British Company got into it and bought, kidnapped and sold the African people into bondage under the approval of Queen Elizabeth who only ask if any of them were 'taken against their will' and the answer was no that they were basically doing them a favor by introducing them into civilization.

Africans came to America because they were either kidnapped or purchased from Africa or they were brought their from tribes that owned slaves.None. Jamestown was established in 1607 and the first slave doesn't come to the colonies until 1619.

The Africans that were enslaved in the Southern Colonies were the main workforce because the settlers did not have the endurance or skills to do the work. Africans were strong, skilled, and were able to endure the climate better than the people who enslaved them.

Africans
Enslaved Africans in the colonies primarily served as forced labor for European colonizers, working on plantations and mines. They were essential for the economic success of the colonies, cultivating crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. Enslaved Africans also played a significant role in building the infrastructure of the colonies.
English settlers in the southern colonies learned agricultural techniques, such as rice cultivation and indigo dyeing, from enslaved Africans. They also learned about herbal medicine, animal husbandry, and construction methods from enslaved Africans. Enslaved Africans played a key role in transferring knowledge and skills that shaped the economies and societies of the southern colonies.
