Africa was brought to the English colonies primarily due to the transatlantic slave trade, where enslaved Africans were forcibly transported to provide labor for plantations and farms, particularly in the Caribbean and the American South. This labor was essential for cultivating lucrative cash crops like tobacco, cotton, and sugar. Additionally, the exploitation of African resources and people was driven by the growing demand for labor and wealth in the rapidly expanding colonies. The system perpetuated racial hierarchies and economic exploitation that had lasting effects on societies.
