Explanation: the importation of African slaves to the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean was due to the rise in demand for labor and manpower in newly established plantations in the colonies. Since sugar and rice were hard crops to harvest and plant, white Europeans chose to put the labor onto indentured servants and later, mostly African slaves. Rising demands for these crops equaled higher supply, contributing to the need for more labor to make more profit.
