Question

What crops were grown in the americas that were labor intensive and helped lead to the slave trade

Answer 1

Answer: Sugar cane, tobacco, and cotton

Step-by-step explanation:

There had been hundreds of contact among Europe and Africa through the Mediterranean. But the Atlantic slave trade started in the late 1400s with Portuguese colonies in West Africa and the Spanish village of the Americas soon later. The crops planted in the new colonies, sugar cane, tobacco, and cotton, required lots of labor, and there were not enough settlers or enslaved servants to grow all the new land.
