    The new contacts among Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas, lead to the economies improving as crops and food spread around. Economically, in the Americas, European colonists advanced from mining for silver, to farming for crops. All of the goods were traded with other countries.

There were not enough settlers and indentured servants to do all this work, so they looked to Africa for slaves. The Africans were used to these hot, hard working conditions. The Atlantic slave trade brought over 10 million Africans to become forced slaves. Europeans/Americans gave African Kings manufactured goods, weapons, and rum in exchange for slaves. This seemed like a fair trade to Africans since they didn't see the slaves as their people.The slaves that were taken to America were people who owed a lot of money, criminals, and prisoners of war.
