The African slave trade to the Americas and Europe was the result largely of wars within African tribes.

Planters in the Americas started using African slaves primarily due to the labor-intensive nature of cultivating crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. African slaves were seen as a readily available source of cheap labor, and their prior experience in agriculture made them well-suited for the demanding work required on plantations. Economic factors and the perceived racial hierarchy of the time also played a role in justifying the use of African slaves for labor.
