Indentured servitude became more expensive in the United States due to the compensation that companies had to give to indentured servants when their term was up. As costs grew, it was inevitable that slavery would be its
The increase in profits led to the demand for more slaves to help plant and harvest the cotton. The slaves were no longer needed in the removal of seeds from cotton but were needed in increase numbers for planting and harvesting. There was a direct correlation between the increase in cotton production and the increase in slave populations

And you can’t just pull up a plantation from nowhere, you have to build many buildings, and pay for labor too. Many people didn 't want to labor at sugar plantations. Because of the hot temperature and the other dangerous things you would have to be around. And plantation owners didn’t want to pay a lot of money for laborers. The solution, slaves.
Intro In the 17th and 18th century the three colonial regions were all similar in the way they farmed but differed in what they farmed, who farmed it and who they sold it to. The economy of the middle and southern colonies differed from that of new england because it was based off of creating a surplus of cash crops farmed by slaves to sell and create a fortune, While New England manufactured ships and large amounts of iron while also using subsistence farming and fishing to create a humble economy which was just enough to feed themselves and their families. Exportation Of Goods/ What Was Farmed Similarities between the colonial regions included the recurring theme of farming and exporting goods to foreign lands.
The transatlantic slave trade or triangular trade was a trade system involving Britain, Europe, Africa, America and the West Indies. Goods such as firearms and alcohol were taken from Britain to Africa in exchange for slaves. The slaves were then taken to America and the West Indies where they were exchanged for rum and sugar for the voyage back to Britain. It can be argued that the key reason for the development of the British economy in the 18th century was its role in the slave trade, although there were many other factors involved such as the industrial revolution and the British Empire.
In the New England colonies the soil grade was very poor and couldn’t be used to produce crops ( of much value) as the soil in the south. New England colonies turned to fishing, shipbuilding and whaling in efforts to save their economy The New England colonies manufactured and exported rum and other goods in exchange for African slaves from Africa. These slaves would come to America and work on the plantation fields in the south. About 10 million or more slaves were taken during the triangle trade and became apart of the southern ethnic count. The south also had European, Spanish and French.
When the British colonized North America, there was a large demand for labor. This labor came in two forms, indentured servitude and slavery. Indentured servitude was very popular at first but slavery soon became a huge market. With the importation of hundreds of slaves from Africa, it became the easiest and cheapest way to supply labor to plantations. But these slaves were seen as property, not people.
The new england colonies often used the triangular trade route. This trade route connected England to the New England colonies to Africa. The trade route looked like a triangle on the map, therefore this series of routes was named the triangular trade route. This route was a help to all colonies because it was very
In the Americas, the main exports were silver and cash crops, both of which required work that was terribly tedious and exhausting. This led to the overwhelming predominance of slavery in the Americas, since the Europeans were not willing to carry out the hard work themselves. When the Europeans found they lacked a workforce, the sought slaves elsewhere. While the people who were called slaves changed, the institution never did. The same mistreatment, torture, and horrible conditions were evident in American slavery until it was abolished centuries later.
If the Triangle Trade didn 't happen, the continents involved wouldn 't be the way they were today. The effect it had on Europe was that it got wealthier and there was improvement developing manufactured goods. Africa wasn 't as fortunate as Europe. There was a decrease in population and sickness spread due to the diseases the Europeans had. Another effect the triangle trade had was, that the import and export routes that were used in that time period set up the trading routes that are used today.
The Atlantic Economy was a part of the major theme of this century which was a shift in economic focus, ecological shift and also a power shift. This was fueled by the demand of a growing European population. The Triangular Trade also referred to as the Atlantic Slave Trade occurred in three interrelated regions that traded with each other. Europe would send manufactured goods to Africa, who then sent slaves to the Americas, who then sent sugar, tobacco, and cotton back to Europe. These voyages and explorations helped Europe acquire territories in Africa and the Americas.
The introduction of slaves shaped the culture in the colonies because people did not grasp any moral implications of slavery. At the time, there were no set concepts of race and racism, the people merely saw the Africans as alien in their color, religion, and social practices (Foner, pg. 99). As slavery developed, people continued to enjoy the benefits of slavery, like how it was profitable. The expense of the slaves’ housing, clothing, and food was considerably
There were 20 Africans labeled as “indentured servants.” This meant that for a period of time, the servants would work in exchange for a place to reside, as well as transportation. These indentured servants were considered to be free, despite their settlement being involuntary. Following the arrival of the first ship in America carrying slaves, slavery grew into an economic profit. The tobacco industry continued to grow but this caused a shortage of labor for tobacco planters.
Comparison and Contrast Essay While the Indian Ocean and Trans-Saharan trade routes both encouraged and facilitated the spread of Islam, the Indian Ocean saw a more extensive diffusion of disease, and traded across water instead of land. Islam was a widespread religion amongst both trade routes, but other religions, like Buddhism, were not as popular along the Trans-Saharan route. Through the time period, we see evidence of Islam’s dominance in the form of muslim architecture and the rulers of the time period.
