America sought various economic benefits from the Atlantic slave trade, primarily labor for its agricultural economy, particularly in the production of cash crops like tobacco, rice, and cotton. Enslaved Africans provided a cheap and abundant workforce that significantly contributed to the growth and profitability of plantations in the Southern colonies. Additionally, the triangular trade facilitated the exchange of goods, including rum and sugar, which further fueled American commerce and economic expansion. Ultimately, this system reinforced the reliance on slavery as a cornerstone of American economic development.
