c. heavy overseas trade
The growth of North American enslavement was closely tied to the economic activities of colonies, particularly those engaged in heavy overseas trade. Plantation-based economies, such as those producing crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo, often relied on enslaved labor for their operations. The demand for labor in these colonies contributed to the rapid development of enslavement.
