The reason African Americans were initially captured and bought to labour in America was the Americans had seen many other colonisers partake in the activity and subsequently saw a chance to increase their wealth. The Americans had previously attempted to enslave Native America but this ended because the Native Americans died in great numbers from the diseases bought over by coloniser's. The slave trade then expanded rapidly due to the boost supplied to the economy. slaves were a cheap way to gain labourers to work on farms in the south and in households in the north.
