C. By enslaving people from Africa
Virginia tobacco planters filled their need for field workers primarily by enslaving people from Africa. The transatlantic slave trade facilitated the forced migration of millions of African people to the Americas, where they were sold into slavery. In the colonies, including Virginia, enslaved Africans and their descendants became the primary labor force on tobacco plantations, enduring brutal conditions and denied freedom for generations.
