Because the Africans were offering them for sale and there was a market for them in America (they were not imported into Europe).
The Dutch did participate in the transatlantic slave trade and slavery. They were one of several European nations involved in the transportation and exploitation of African slaves during the colonial period.
The need for workers is the reason for slavery. At first the colonies used indentured servants, but many when they got to the colonies faded into the population after a period of time. Slaves couldn't do this since they were African American and anyone who was a slave.
Slavery did not start with the African slave trade. Slavery and indentured servitude goes way back to Roman, Greek, and earlier times. Whenever their was a war, people from the losing side could be taken as slaves, laborers, and servants.
Slavery in Spain dates back to Roman times, when slaves were used for labor and domestic work. During the Middle Ages, slavery continued to be practiced, with captives from raids and warfare being enslaved. The transatlantic slave trade also brought enslaved Africans to Spain and its colonies in the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.
In America, the 1700-1800's, African Americans were slaves. The underground railroad was created to help slaves escape to the Northern states, and later, Canada.
Slavery was invented by rasists who discovered Africa and its people. The fact is, slavery became racism after the white people found out the fact that the African negros were good workers. The slaves were sometimes treated well, but most were beaten and treated cruelly.
There is no exact date or place that slavery can be given. Thousands of years of slavery have existed. The bible talks about slaves and slaves were bought and sold by civilizations from the earliest times.
