Why were the first slaves brought to North America?

Why Were Slaves Brought to North America?

Is this how you do your homework? That's low.

The first slaves were brought to Jamestown but proved unsuccessful due to the fact that the farms weren't large enough to buy them.
Slavery was also tried in the northern colonies but failed for the same reason.
Slavery kicked off in Carolina when they began to grow rice on large plantations. Slaves were already good at growing rice, and Carolina had connections with the British West Indies and had adopted their legal system concerning slaves.
