Commerce between America, the West Indies, and Africa consisting of slaves and goods (sugar, rum, and molasses); began the growth of commerce in colonial America.

Answer 2

The number of African slaves varied greatly according to the region (South vs North) and their conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of African slaves that were taken to the South of North America in the 18th century was bigger than that of the North because of the weather and soil conditions. The rich soil and warm weather of the South allowed for the existence of huge tobacco and cotton plantations, as well as large-scale farms. As agriculture produced great wealth and the labor was hard, slaves were put to work in these pantations. On the other hand, the North was ideal for the creation of industries thanks to the abundance of natural resources. However, the people that worked in these industries were mostly European immigrants rather than slaves.
