Who did europeans bring to the western hemisphere to work on their plantations after they realized the natives could not do it?

After realizing that Native Americans were not suitable for large-scale labor on plantations due to disease, death, and resistance, Europeans turned to Africa for labor. They began importing enslaved Africans through the transatlantic slave trade, which provided a forced workforce for the cultivation of cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton. This brutal system had devastating effects on African societies and played a significant role in the economic development of European colonies in the Americas.
