Because the economic value of agriculture had just began to grow and was not fully developed in the Caribbean. Remember that as the economic value of agriculture grew, the greater the number of slaves grew so that the economic standard could be sustained. As a result, there wasn't many African slaves in the Caribbean during that era.
