they came in ships
Spain was the first European country to import African slaves to the Americas. After Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, the Spanish started bringing Africans as slave labor for their plantations and mines. Juan de Cordoba was the first Spaniard to send African slaves to the New World.
The first colonists were English settlers, wealthy landowners from the west indies, and enslaved Africans.

1502 First enslaved Africans in the Americas- 1888Abolition of slavery in Brazil.
The first Africans arrived in Hispaniola in 1502. They were brought by the Spanish as enslaved individuals to work on plantations and mines.
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.
At the first leg of the triangular trade, goods like guns, textiles, and other manufactured products were traded from Europe to Africa in exchange for enslaved Africans. At the second leg, enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas and sold. At the final leg, raw materials like sugar, tobacco, and cotton produced by enslaved labor in the Americas were transported back to Europe.
European colonists brought enslaved Africans to their plantations in the Americas to provide cheap labor for cultivating crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. The transatlantic slave trade became a lucrative enterprise that helped fuel the economic prosperity of European colonies. Enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to the Americas to meet the labor demands of the expanding plantation economy.
