Slaves were primarily brought to the 13 colonies through the transatlantic slave trade, where European traders transported enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean. These individuals were captured in Africa and sold to slave traders, who then shipped them to the colonies in brutal conditions aboard overcrowded ships. Upon arrival, they were sold at auctions to plantation owners and other colonists, where they were forced to work in harsh conditions, particularly in agriculture. This system became a foundational aspect of the colonial economy, particularly in the Southern colonies.
