The first enslaved Africans were brought to America in the early 17th century to meet the labor demands of colonial plantations, particularly in the production of cash crops like tobacco and later cotton. The transatlantic slave trade was driven by European colonists' desire for cheap labor to maximize profits. Enslaved individuals were forcibly taken from their homelands, enduring a brutal journey across the Atlantic before being sold into slavery in the Americas. This system of forced labor became a foundational aspect of the economy and society in many colonies.
