Why did the british colonists in the Caribbean turn to African slaves as a source of labor?
The colonists originally used indentured servants, people who had a landowner pay for their passage to America in exchange for the poor to work on the rich person's land for a certain number of years. However, indentured servants couldn't be sold and bought, and they were eventually granted land and set free. The number of indentured servants coming from Europe started to decrease over the years, and the amount of labor started to increase. With nothing else to do, the British carted African slaves to be used as a labor source, even though slaves were more expensive.
