The increase in the number of slaves during the 1700s was primarily driven by the demand for labor on plantations, particularly in the Americas, where cash crops like tobacco, sugar, and cotton required extensive labor. The transatlantic slave trade expanded significantly during this period, as European powers sought to maximize profits from their colonies. Additionally, the development of more efficient agricultural techniques and the expansion of colonial territories further fueled the need for enslaved workers. This resulted in a dramatic rise in the importation and enslavement of Africans.
