Answer: The correct answer is : They were brought because the demand for labor was growing and there were not many indigenous people left because of the epidemics. They were needed to work on plantations.

Explanation: The first slaves were requested by the Franciscan friars. They came to the southern United States to work on cotton plantations. In the Caribbean region they went to sugarcane colonies.
