Europeans used enslaved Africans primarily for forced labor in industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction. Enslaved Africans were also used as domestic servants and in other forms of manual labor.
The South depended on labor from enslaved Africans for their plantation economy. Enslaved Africans were used to work the fields, tend to crops like cotton and tobacco, and perform other agricultural duties. The profitability of the Southern economy was largely built on the exploitation of enslaved African labor.
The major components of the African slave trade included the capture and enslavement of Africans by European traders, the transportation of enslaved individuals across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, and the sale of enslaved Africans to work on plantations. This trade was fueled by economic profit, colonial expansion, and the exploitation of African labor.
The first Africans arrived in Hispaniola in 1502. They were brought by the Spanish as enslaved individuals to work on plantations and mines.
Europeans brought African slaves to work on plantations because native populations were decimated by diseases brought by Europeans and were not sufficient in number or adapted to the harsh working conditions. Africans were seen as a readily available and exploitable labor source due to the Atlantic slave trade.

when the europeans first came to the Americas they brought diseases which the native Americans weren't immuned to. therefore they died and the europeans had no one to work and farm the lands. they knew that africans had immunity so they enslaved them and brought them to the Americas. another reason native Americans died was because the europeans had guns and were in constant warfare with them.
