Between 1700 and 1775, approximately 400,000 enslaved Africans were brought to the British North American colonies. This period saw the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade, with enslaved people primarily arriving in the southern colonies to work on plantations. The demand for labor in tobacco, rice, and eventually cotton cultivation fueled this influx. By the mid-18th century, slavery had become a central institution in the economy and society of the colonies.
The English benefited from the colonies. They benefited because by bringing enslaved Africans to America, they had someone to raise their profitable crops so they could be sold.They also benefited by bringing lots of enslaved Africans to the colonies and selling them for profits also.
The question is incomplete; it needs whatever action the British persuaded enslaved Africans to perform. If it asking about slavery in general, the British did not "persuade" the Africans to be slaves. They received them in chains from rival African Kingdoms or Tribes that had already enslaved them and the British used force to compel them to remain in slavery.
The Stono Rebellion was successful in the sense that it was the largest slave rebellion in the British colonies before the American Revolution. Enslaved Africans successfully gathered weapons and launched a coordinated attack against their oppressors, resulting in the deaths of many white colonists. However, the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the colonial militia, and the enslaved Africans were either killed or captured.
The British enlisted the services of enslaved people during the American Revolution.
the colonies paid tax to british but had no repersenatives there

Yes, during the American Revolutionary War, the British offered freedom to enslaved Africans who joined their side to fight against the American colonists. This led to thousands of enslaved people fleeing their owners to seek this opportunity for emancipation.
because the british promised them freedom if they fought for them, but some joined the continental army.

Slavery was legally established in the British North American colonies of Virginia and Maryland by the early 1700s. These colonies relied heavily on enslaved labor for their agricultural economies, particularly in tobacco cultivation.
The Stono Rebellion was successful in the sense that it was the largest slave rebellion in the British colonies before the American Revolution. Enslaved Africans successfully gathered weapons and launched a coordinated attack against their oppressors, resulting in the deaths of many white colonists.

Many colonies in the Americas used slave labor for farming, but notably the southern colonies of British North America, such as Virginia and South Carolina, relied heavily on enslaved Africans to work in their tobacco and rice fields.

There are many reasons why many groups and nationalities have been used as slaves throughout time. Africans were only one of many examples because throughout time whites also enslaved whites. Africans still enslave Africans. The American experience is only one of many times slaves have been used in history and today. Initially few enslaved Africans were used in the Americas. It was the expansion of the sugar industry in Barbados and the Leeward islands that led to the large scale use of enslaved Africans by planters. Initially white British indentured labour was used. The Dutch first started the trade but once the British got involved they were able to better organize the trade sending ships back and forth between England, Africa and the Americas, known as the triangular trade. As a result the price of slaves dropped and planters turned to this cheap source of labour. Hence in a nutshell, the reasons for the use of enslaved Africans by planters in the Americas was simply that it was a cheap form of labour. By the time the mainland colonies started to used enslaved Africans as labour, the trade was well organised by the British and the price of slaves was significantly reduced to make slave labour viable. Not that Africans were only slaves in the "New World". Some Black Americans owned slaves. Slavery was also not limited to the southern states either. There were states in the north during the civil war that owned slaves throughout the entire war. It was not until several months after the civil war ended that slavery finally became illegal.
Yes, Brazil received more enslaved Africans than the British mainland colonies during the transatlantic slave trade. This was due to the demands for labor in Brazil's sugar and coffee plantations, leading to a larger influx of slaves.
