The same way all slave-holders did. They got free labor and 100% profit on the work the slaves did. They were able to have extremely large operations and run them under the worst conditions, having the slaves do backbreaking work that no one could have been paid enough to do. Also, the slaves were free (through kidnapping) or very cheap to obtain and they commanded fairly high prices in the international slave markets.
