Portugal became involved in the slave trade in the 1500's because they established a colony in Mozambique, Africa. they then got many people from there and sent them of to Brazil and the West Indies
Slavery increased in the 1500s due to the demand for cheap labor in industries such as mining, agriculture, and sugar production. European explorers also initiated the transatlantic slave trade to meet the labor demands in their colonies, leading to a surge in the capture and enslavement of Africans.

Georgia saw a rapid increase in its enslaved population between 1750-1775 after the slavery ban was lifted. The demand for labor in the plantations caused an influx of enslaved individuals being brought into the colony. This increase in enslaved population contributed to the economic growth of Georgia's agricultural industry during that period.
Slavery was introduced to Georgia by British colonists for economic reasons, to support the labor-intensive agricultural practices in the region, particularly for cultivating crops like rice and indigo. Slavery helped boost the economy and increase profits for plantation owners in Georgia.
Slavery for black individuals in the Spanish West Indies began in the early 16th century, around the 1500s, shortly after the arrival of European colonizers in the region. indigenous populations initiallly were used as forced labor but due to the devastation of diseases and warfare they were replaced by African slaves.
One effect of the importation of slavery being banned was the domestic slave trade within the United States increased as slave owners turned to selling and buying slaves within the country to meet their labor needs. Additionally, the ban led to an increase in the breeding of slaves as a way to maintain or increase slave populations. Ultimately, the ban on the importation of slaves helped entrench the institution of slavery in the United States.
Slavery and a slave trade DID NOT begin in the 1500s it was the norm since prehistory.
Spain enslaved Native Americans to work mines in the southwest. American colonial slavery didn't begin until 1609 when the first slave arrived.
