Selling slaves to plantation owners in the Americas fulfilled which aim of the slave trade?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increasing plantation production and profit through forced labour

Selling enslaved people to plantation owners supplied the labour force required for intensive plantation production, so option B is correct. Plantations in the Americas produced commodities such as sugar, coffee, indigo and tobacco for wider markets. Their profitability depended on controlling workers, denying them freedom and extracting labour under coercion. The sale was therefore part of an economic chain: capture or purchase, transport, sale to plantation owners, forced labour and commercial profit. The other options do not describe the purpose of this transaction. Enslaved people were denied civic offices and education was not the aim of the system; ending monarchy was a political objective unrelated to plantation sales. The key concept is the connection between forced labour, commodity production and profit.
