The Europeans were very powerful at time and commanded many countries to do as they say or were lazy. There were vast areas in the New World and the Europeans needed helpers to grow crops, prepare them, cook for their masters, and etc. They commanded Africans, Asians, and South Americans to do their work for them cause they thought since they controlled parts of Africa they should bring them over here and make them do their work for them.

Well, the African slave trade was major in the New World because the Europeans wanted someone they didn%26#039;t have to pay for the manual labor done





and the Africans were immune to malaria and could live in the humid swampy conditions of the chesapeake bay region and the deep south and the bayous, whereas the native amerindians could not





but what everyone else said was pretty good too...
Reply:Cheap labor. Imagine a world in which refined sugar was a rare novelty, and go from there.
Reply:The Americas was a new land that Europeans wanted to exploit in order to boost Europe to wealth and gain colonize in this new world to live in also this came with a dilemma to the Europeans because it would need a population of a workforce





Possible workers


Native Americans- They were dying largly in numbers due to first encounters with European disease.


Also they were resistant and able to escape easily as they knew their way around better than anyone.





Europeans- Europe was not the Europe we see today it was behind, just recovering from the worst disease epidemic in human history to this day, plague/black death which kille of between 40-60% of Europes whole population and most if not all were the poor/peasants the one who would be used as the workforce in the Americas





Asians- Asia was very far and transportation of people from mainland Asia to the Atlantic was long and costly and then to cross the Atlantic was even worser the idea of that would be worthless.





Africans- Europeans had already just started the trade of European raw materials in return for African natural minerals on ports on African coasts which African leaders allowed them to. Some were already getting humans as slaves also.


Africa was just Atlantic distance to the Americas. They were plenty in number. They did not know the Americas giving less chance of escape. They were use to European disease so survived. They were the best candidates for slaves which would be needed to make the Americas home to Europeans and boost Europes economy back to stableness.
