Because white's could earn lots of money by making them work for them without being paid. African Americans were treated really badly and they thought that they were the most useless things. which I totally don't agree, because if they worked for them and they needed that how could the Africans be useless!
amsw2. You should not make the mistake of thinking that the 'white people' invented slavery, or even that they formed the majority.
This reprehensible practice has been in existence for thousands of years, and today it is probable that a higher proportion of the world's population is held in slavery, than in any previous age.
Much bondage bound not only the slave, but his generations to come.
Today, slavery is still very active on the east coast of Africa, with destinations in the oil states. Sex slavery must be counted in today's total.

Whites were used as slaves, these men, women and children are not to be confused with the indentured servants because they could only legally work for a short period of time, and you couldn't sell their children they were considered unprofitable and disposable. During certain periods of American History their were large numbers of white slaves (usually Irish and Scottish). Many of the slaves where in the west indies as early as 1627. According to 1701 records of the 25,000 slaves in Barbados 21,700 were white slaves.

There is no way to tell exactly how many slaves were in the United States. The records kept were not accurate.
I am not sure what you mean by "S" since that is not a number, so my answer will be general. Slaves were bought because the people who owned them wanted them to do the work on their plantations. Slavery has been around for thousands of years. The Greeks, Romans, Chinese all had slaves in the ancient world. Today, about 25 million people are kept in slavery as sex slaves or in some other form. Isis even has a manual on slavery.
The slaves were treated horribly by a lot of people but some people were not cruel to the slaves. On slave ships coming to America from Africa it was horrible. The slaves were all chained together chained together and were only fed potatoes. The slaves often died on ships. If a slave died on a ship, they would be dumped. The slaves were kept in the lower part of a ship. It lacked anything clean and was full of infection. Some of the slaves attempted to jump over bored to die.
