Africans were first brought to Louisiana in the early 18th century primarily as enslaved labor to work on plantations, particularly in the production of sugar and indigo. The demand for labor-intensive agriculture in the region, coupled with the declining Indigenous populations due to disease and conflict, created a need for a new workforce. Enslaved Africans were viewed as a solution to this labor shortage, leading to their forced importation to support the burgeoning colonial economy.
