Answer 2

Answer:

After enslaved Native American laborers began to die due to exposure to disease, European powers began purchasing enslaved Africans, who became their primary labor source. Also, indentured servants had limits on the extent of labor (such as legal rights and a working contract) which did not fulfill the labor need in many fields and plantations. For example, the Southern Colonies (e.gVirginia and the Carolinas) had numerous plantations that needed boundless labor from workers. As a response to the increasing labor demand, Britain sent their first slave ships to the British West Indies to work on tobacco plantations and then later sugarcane plantations.
