Originally, transatlantic slaves were mostly used for mass-producing the sugar cane plantations that dominated the market. Spain also used them for silver mining/processing during the great silver drain. New England colonies eventually used slaves for tobacco farming after tobacco prices fell and indentured servants became less profitable. They were also used for cotton farming and other crops in the South in the years leading up to the civil war.
Atrociously.
He brought slaves to Spain from the Caribbean
It is easier to look at one product: sugar cane. Slaves would cut down sugar cane (a very hard work), the cane was processed into sugar and molasses. The molasses was sent to new England and processed into rum. The rum was traded for slaves in Africa. (The people who were selling them were other Africans.) This increased the demand for more rum and increased the demand for more slaves to grow more sugar cane. Cotton and tobacco also required more slaves to make tobacco and cotton.
Laborers
Slaves would work from sunrise to twilight for their entire lives
Atrociously.

No, most slaves did not come from Europe. The majority of slaves were taken from Africa and brought to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. This was a brutal and forced migration of millions of Africans who were enslaved and forcibly transported to work in the New World.
Yes, there were black slaves in France, particularly during the period of colonial expansion and the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery was legal in French colonies, such as in the Caribbean, where many black slaves were brought to work on plantations. Additionally, there were some instances of black slaves in mainland France as well.
"Middle Passage"
The settling of the southern colonies in America increased the demand for labor in industries such as agriculture, which led to an increase in the transatlantic slave trade to meet this demand. Slaves were brought from Africa to work on plantations and farms in the southern colonies, leading to the growth of the slave trade in the region.
Slaves were brought to Brazil primarily from Africa to work in the fields due to the demand for labor on sugar plantations. The transatlantic slave trade increased during the colonial period to meet the growing need for workers in the Portuguese colonies. Economic factors and the availability of cheap labor drove the influx of slaves into Brazil.
Most slaves in the time of the 13 colonies lived on the Plantations. They were needed because harvesting requiered strenuous work, so most slaves spent mos of their time in the feild tending to mostly tabacco. During this time the christians did not oppose slavery because they told themselves that the slaves were not Christians so it was ok to make them work.
The Spanish obtained African slaves through the transatlantic slave trade, which involved capturing and trading Africans from various regions of Africa to the Americas. This practice was driven by the demand for labor in the Spanish colonies, particularly for work on plantations and in mines.
