The transatlantic slave trade emerged from a variety of factors. The economy of the Americas was heavily dependent on production and export of field crops. The land owners were generally unskilled in hard manual labor, especially in the climate, and remained susceptible to many diseases in the Americas. African slaves were a cheap and hardy labor force. The European countries supplying the populace to the New World needed to ensure economic success for future expansion.
The transatlantic slave trade began primarily due to the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly for the cultivation of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and later, cotton. Additionally, European colonizers sought a more cost-effective and reliable workforce than indentured servants, leading to the enslavement of millions of Africans. Lastly, the existing African slave trade networks facilitated the capture and transport of enslaved individuals, making it easier for Europeans to exploit this system for economic gain.
