The slaves were brought to plantations in the Southern states such a as Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia. They were forced to farm the fields and the most popular crop was cotton. Africans were chosen because they had a high tolerance for heat and were physically superior because the south was hot and the work was extremely demanding.
