Slavery in America was influenced by economic factors, particularly the demand for labor in agriculture, especially in the Southern states where cash crops like tobacco, rice, and cotton thrived. The transatlantic slave trade facilitated the importation of enslaved Africans to meet this labor demand. Additionally, prevailing racial attitudes and the legal framework established by colonial and later state laws justified and institutionalized the practice of slavery, reinforcing social hierarchies and economic exploitation. Political factors, including the interests of slaveholding states, also played a significant role in shaping national policies around slavery.
