Detailed explanation-1: -Enslaved people were regarded and treated as property with little to no rights. In many colonies, enslaved people could not testify in a court of law, own guns, gather in large groups, or go out at night.
Detailed explanation-2: -By 1840, the South grew 60 percent of the world’s cotton and provided some 70 percent of the cotton consumed by the British textile industry. Thus slavery paid for a substantial share of the capital, iron, and manufactured goods that laid the basis for American economic growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Africa and Enslavement Ivory, gold and other trade resources attracted Europeans to West Africa.

Slavery existed in Africa before Europeans arrived.
