The african slaves were brought because they were strong, had some immunity against the tropical diseases that abound in the area, and had some knowledge about rice cultivation since rice has been grown in Africa sin the 3rd millenium BC.

2)A) The backcountry. The backcountry consisted of the areas in colonial america that were far from the coast. The Appalachian Mountains were located in the backcountry for example.
