Answer: Because it was hard to find people that would do cheap labor and african americans in africa were sturggling to find labor.

European settlers brought a system of slavery with them to the western hemisphere in the 1500s. Unable to find cheap labor from other sources, white settlers increasingly turned to slaves imported from Africa. By the early 1700s in British North America, slavery meant African slavery.
