Due to its low level of culture, and due to the natural strength of the black people.

============================================

When slaves were taken from Africa to America, it is important to remember that slavery was endemic across the WHOLE world. Slavery has been a pat of human culture since ancient times and did not only apply to black people. In Roman times most slaves were white and came from Europe.

The particular slave trading that took black people to America was one of convenience and need. There was a triangle of ship travel from Europe laden with manufactured goods to exchange for slaves in Africa (slaves sold into slavery by black people). Across to America where the slaves were sold to work in sugar or cotton plantations (because there were not enough people there to do the work). Then back to Europe laden with Sugar and Cotton, to sell for money.

Europeans sought slaves from Africa due to the existing slave trade networks, high demand for labor in the Americas, and perceived physical ability of Africans. Additionally, African rulers and traders participated in the slave trade, exchanging captives for goods. This led to the transatlantic slave trade, with millions of Africans forcibly taken to the Americas.
