African Slavery?

Ive search the internet so much times that I am literally tired and Im exhausted from asking everyone if they have a History book and getting the answer to be no. Could you help me with this please? Its very important

‘The introduction of plantation economies resulted in the direct extension of slavery. Africans were enslaved and brought into the Caribbean to replace the depleted Native population.’

I agree with it but I have to find at least 5 sources to back it up. Could you guys help me? Thatnks in advance.

I can’t spend the time to search the sources (such as authors, academics, governmental and non-governmental organizations) but please find 5 threads:

– The ethnicity of people in the Caribbean proves they are non native to the America

– The slave workers in the cotton fields were not white and not natives, so where did they come from ?

– Presence today of religious practice (Voodoo, Macumba, Santeria) that are from the West African Coast. How did they arrive in the Caribbean?

– How many natives are left there. They were too few physically too fragile so had to be replaced by stronger workers.

– What do you know of the “Ebony Trade” Ebony was a wood of dark colour. Sadly the Black people were transported like logs of wood on ships, from Africa.

– How come the economy of the South collapsed when slavery of the Blacks was finally abolished?

All the best for your paper.

Africans were already slaves to other tribes in Africa long before any of the plantation economy started. It just escalated after that. In fact, there is still slavery in Africa.
