The Portuguese brought enslaved people to the Cape Verde Islands primarily to support the plantation economy and meet labor demands. The islands, uninhabited before European colonization, became a key stop in the transatlantic slave trade. Enslaved Africans were forced to work in agriculture, especially in cotton and sugar production, as well as in domestic roles. This practice contributed significantly to the islands' economic development and population structure.
