Answer 2

Answer:

Ship owners transported enslaved West Africans, as well as British natives, to the New World to be sold into slave labour. The ships brought commodities back to Britain then exported goods to Africa. Some brought slaves to Britain, where they were kept in bondage.

• British enslave Africans because they needed labourers to work for them.

• They could not send armies to conquer Africans or to kidnap them. They had to make their purchases from the local kings and chiefs.
• Slavery was more than a labor system; it also influenced every aspect of colonial thought and culture. The uneven relationship it engendered gave white colonists an exaggerated sense of their own status.
