The main reason Africans became enslaved in America rather than Native Americans was due to the high mortality rates among Indigenous populations from diseases brought by Europeans, as well as their resistance to enslavement and their knowledge of the land, which allowed them to escape more easily. In contrast, Africans were forcibly transported through the transatlantic slave trade, and their unfamiliarity with the American environment made them more vulnerable to enslavement. Additionally, the demand for labor in cash crop agriculture, particularly in the Southern colonies, led to the establishment of a system that relied heavily on African slaves.
