Causes of slavery:
In 1618, the Dutch introduced America to slavery however until the late 1600s, slavery was not too common due to the large amounts of indentured servants.
In the late 1600s, when the cost of paying voyage for the indentured servants skyrocketed, slavery began to become more common.
Slavery was used as a means to do the work of lazy, white men who thought that plowing or working on the plantation was below them.
The Constitution of the United States of America is all about liberty and freedom for EVERYONE, however one can note that slavery was accepted as what was right especially in the south.

In a pre-industrialized society, when there is more work than workers, or the work pays a wage so low that few would take the job, it seems that slavery usually crops up. Slavery in the US is a bad example to go by, because the US was turning into an industrialized nation during slavery. This caused a lot of abuse that is not normally seen in a society that allows slavery.
Of course, all slavery is barbaric.

in 1600 the didn't have tractors and they had to harvest and tend crops so the cause of slavery was money. It didn't have any thing to do with the white man being lazy. Black slaves were treated much better than the Chinese who built the railroads and who were not slaves. a black slave was worth a lot. They could replace Chinaman at no cost

The guy named "me" is exactly right. Dont listen to everyone saying whites are lazy. They were for sale by their own people, and we bought them. Just like buying a car or a bike, it is there to make you life easier.

Africans. They were sold to American farmers by Africans. They were already slaves before they bought them.
