Detailed explanation-1: -The history and growth of slavery in colonial America was tied to the rise of land cultivation, and particularly the boom in the production of tobacco (in Virginia and Maryland) and rice (in the Carolinas).
Detailed explanation-2: -European settlers brought a system of slavery with them to the western hemisphere in the 1500s. Unable to find cheap labor from other sources, white settlers increasingly turned to slaves imported from Africa. By the early 1700s in British North America, slavery meant African slavery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within the southern colonies of America between 1607 and 1775 factors such as available farm land, the increased production of agricultural crops, and general need for a stable labor force led to the development of slavery.
Detailed explanation-4: -In New England, it was common for individual enslaved people to learn specialized skills and crafts due to the area’s more varied economy. Ministers, doctors, tradesmen, and merchants also used enslaved labor to work alongside them and run their households.
