Describe the location of the colonies African population why was that population found in those colonies
Answers
Slavery in the colonial United States (1600–1776) developed from complex factors, and several theories have been proposed to explain development of the trade and institution. Slavery was strongly associated with the European colonies' need for labor, especially for the labor-intensive plantation economies of the sugar colonies in the Caribbean, operated by Great Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic.
Most slaves who were brought or kidnapped to the Thirteen British colonies, which later became the Eastern seaboard of the United States, were imported from the Caribbean, not directly from Africa. They were predominately transported to the Caribbean islands as a result of the Atlantic slave trade. Indigenous people were also enslaved in the North American colonies, but on a much smaller scale, and Indian slavery ended in the eighteenth century. In the English colonies, slave status for Africans became hereditary in the mid-17th century and passage of colonial laws that defined children born in the colonies as taking the status of the mother, under the principle of partus sequitur ventrem .
