Europeans brought slaves from Africa primarily to meet the labor demands of their colonies, particularly in the Americas. The transatlantic slave trade provided a solution to the shortage of labor caused by the decline of Indigenous populations due to disease and harsh treatment. Enslaved Africans were seen as a profitable source of labor for plantations producing sugar, tobacco, and cotton. This brutal system was driven by economic interests and the racial ideologies that dehumanized African people.
