What effect did the Columbian exchange have on slavery in America?

The Columbian Exchange significantly intensified the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly for plantation agriculture, leading to the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade. The introduction of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton created a labor-intensive economy that relied heavily on enslaved Africans. This demand contributed to the establishment of a brutal system of chattel slavery, which became a foundational aspect of American society and economy. Consequently, the Columbian Exchange not only reshaped agricultural practices but also entrenched racial hierarchies and systemic inequality in the New World.
