Need to supply qualified labor for American colonies in Latin America, Caribbean, and North America; Africans already skilled in metallurgy and intensive agriculture as Indians were not (they had no metal tools); slaves generally failed to reproduce in New World and required constant resupply from Africa; slave trade was profitable, although not much more so than other business ventures; creation of triangular trade slaves to New World, plantation products to Europe, manufactured goods to Africa.
