Slavery spread throughout the Americas primarily due to the demand for labor to cultivate cash crops, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which were highly profitable in both domestic and international markets. The transatlantic slave trade provided a steady supply of enslaved Africans, who were forced into labor on plantations and in mines. Additionally, the indigenous populations were significantly reduced due to diseases and violence, creating a labor shortage that further fueled the reliance on enslaved workers. Economic interests and the establishment of racial hierarchies also played a crucial role in the institutionalization of slavery across the continent.
