There was a severe shortage of agricultural labor throughout the Americas to produce crops that were in high demand in Europe, such as sugar and cotton.
When Portuguese traders discovered that African tribes were willing to sell their captured enemies as slaves, the Atlantic Slave Trade was born, shipping African slaves to the West Indies as well as South and North America.
Plantation agriculture which produced the sugar and cotton would not have been possible without imported labor. Had the availability of African slaves not been discovered at that time, it would have been a difficult challenge to import enough workers from elsewhere.

In terms of historical immigration to the United States, individuals from Europe, particularly those from Spain, were among the earliest groups to arrive, with significant waves during the colonial period.
