Why did expansion and colonization of "The New World lead to such an increase in the trade of slaves from Africa?
O There were not enough Europeans to settle "The New World".
O "The New World" was a vast and uninhabited land that needed people to control it and make it productive.
O Neither natives nor Europeans had the natural stamina to survive the brutal work in the mines or on the plantations.
The biggest moneymakers in the "New World" were mining and plantation farming. Both of those are labor intensive and require many
people working to generate a profit for the owners of mines or plantations.
