Slavery in the British Colonies
The transport of slaves to the American colonies accelerated in the second half of the 17th century. In 1660, Charles II created the Royal African Company to trade in slaves and African goods.
His brother, James II, led the company before ascending the throne
Under both these kings, the Royal African Company enjoyed a monopoly to transport slaves to the English colonies.
Between 1672 and 1713, the company bought 125,000 captives on the African coast, losing 20% of them to death on the Middle Passage, the journey from the African coast to the Americas.
In the North American colonies, the importation of African slaves was directed mainly southward, where extensive tobacco, rice, and later, cotton plantation economies, demanded extensive labor forces for cultivation.
In contrast to the high mortality rates of the Caribbean sugar plantations, North American slave populations tended to live longer.
By the 19th century, many southern farmers found that natural increase was a viable alternative to importation in order to replenish their slave populations.
