Slavery was such a vital part in the cultivation of cash crops such as sugarcane that it was introduced to North America with its colonization. The availability of land combined with the growing demand of sugarcane in Europe quickly created an insatiable demand for African slaves, whom, by happenstance, tended to be suited well for work in the warm and tropical environments of the Americas. These Africans at first became indentured servants; nevertheless, the growing arrogance of the white man in his spiritual superiority and the need for even more labor led to the swift decline of the indentured servant. When other alternatives to slavery such as cheap white labor and convict laborers failed to deliver the desired results, the prevalent abstraction of a racially-based slave system finally emerged in the 1680’s. Furthermore, slave uprisings would also play a role in the shaping of the structure of slavery.

Africa contained a great number of natural rescources valuable to Europe such as: cotton, palm oil, rubber, ivory, gum, peanuts, bananas, coffee, cocoa, zinc, lead, coal, and copper.

These products included: fabrics, soaps, candles, tires, drugs, food products, electrical wiring, electrical insulation, rope and twine, jewelry, and many others. The invasion of Africa yielded many valuable economic advancements, and created a logical reason for Europe to invade. European imperialism in Africa was partly due to rivalries between the different European countries involved, with Britain, Germany and France the dominant powers.
“Jamaica became popular in producing tobacco, cocoa and sugar for the British” (Mason). Jamaica became the most valuable Caribbean colony because of the crops it was able to produce. “The English developed a flourishing plantation economy with slave labor brought from West Africa, but the abolition of the slave trade in 1834, the Civil War in the United States and the removal of British tariff protection for Jamaican products destroyed the economy and led to a black uprising in Morant Bay in 1865” (Kurian). The economy was gradually rebuilt when the British Parliament established a Crown colony government. “The British then began new programs; banana cultivation, internal transportation and educational and public health facilities” (Kurian).
