The use of African slaves in the Americas during the 1500s increased because of the growing demand for labor in the New World. The indigenous populations were decimated by disease and exploitation, leading European colonizers to look for new sources of labor. The African slave trade was already established, and slave traders could supply large numbers of enslaved people to work on plantations and in mines. Additionally, the development of the transatlantic slave trade made it easier to transport enslaved people from Africa to the Americas. Finally, the development of sugar plantations in Brazil and the Caribbean in the mid- to late- 1500s greatly increased the demand for enslaved labor, further driving up the number of African slaves brought to the New World.
