Answer 2

The American colonists needed cheap labor to grow their economy quickly by exporting things to England and the rest of Europe.
Note that following American Independence slavery continued in America for many years after it had been banned by England all over its colonies.
England banned slavery in it's colonies in 1807
America kept slavery until 1865

Slaves were brought mainly on boat from Africa (Southern).

South- Worked on plantations or house slave
Middle- House slave
New England- House slave

Different regions of the colonies had different soil properties and different ways of life.

Slavery was only a major contribution to the economy in the southern colonies--Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. These states' economies depended on crops that required intensive cultivation by unskilled hands. Originally, indentured servants provided this labor. Unlike indentured servants, slaves could provide unpaid labor for their entire lifetimes and their children were also slaves. As a result, slaves became a sizable demographic in all the aforementioned states.
