KC 2.2.II. A: All the British colonies participated to varying degrees in the Atlantic slave trade due to the abundance of land and a growing European demand for colonial goods, as well as a shortage of indentured servants. Small New England farms used relatively few enslaved laborers, all port cities held significant minorities of enslaved peoples, and the emerging plantation systems of the Chesapeake and the southern Atlantic coast had large numbers of enslaved workers, while the great majority of enslaved Africans were sent to the West Indies. Evidence:

Between 1662 and 1807, majority of enslaved Africans were sent to the West Indies where British was ruling.

Explanation:

Laborers are required by the Americans for the plantation of crops in the field, digging out coal and other useful substances from mines and other various fields. For this reasons, they enslaved Africans and transported these slaves from west indies to America. About 3.1 million Africans were enslaved and brought in Britain shipped between 1662 and 1807 across the Atlantic Ocean in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In this trade, Africans are forcibly slaved and sent to various regions of america for working purpose.
