Question

why did European landowners import hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans to the Caribbean in the 1600s​

Answer 1

European landowners owned acres of farmlands and the tropical conditions of the Caribbean made it "ripe" for agriculture to be harvested. As a result, Africans were farmers in their homelands who specialized in cultivating crops efficiently. As a result, Europeans began importing Africans to work as slaves. The transatlantic slave trade became born..yea

Answer 2

They imported slaves as a part of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They used a system of triangluar trade to do so.
