The problem with Christianity isn't the religion itself, but the fact that its members are all human.
Originally, there was one Church, what we now know as the Catholic Church. However, during the 1500s, the priests of the time were corrupt (as mankind tends to be) and were charging people money in order to forgive them of their sins (as it was, nobody needed a priest to forgive them, but the people didn't know because they didn't have bibles).
And so, in 1517, Martin Luther published Ninety-Five Thesis, critiquing the Church, and soon the Church was divided between Protestant and Catholics. All the other denominations you see out there come from Protestantism.
None is better than the other. While I feel that the Protestant reformation was necessary, that does not mean that modern Catholics are necessarily bad. There are corrupt people in all churches. Meanwhile, the Christian community is supposed to be acting as one body, so any hostility you see between denominations is, by Christian standards, wrong.

Broadly speaking, Mercantilism was very good for European countries for a while but terrible for their colonies.
Mercantilism made people in the Old World VERY rich.
But, as a result of the imbalance, the relationship between the European countries and their colonies deteriorated making mercantilism good in the short term but bad in the long term.
Answer:
1. The Portuguese establish sugar plantations on islands off the coast of West Africa;
2. Portuguese laborers are unwilling to leave their homeland;
3. The Portuguese bring in slaves to work on their plantations;
4. Other European countries also start purchasing enslaved Africans;
The Portuguese didn't really investigated the situation about the labor force before they make sugar plantations, so they set them up, and it turned out that the Portuguese people are not willing to come and work on them, so they were left with plantations without laborers. Since they didn't wanted this investment to be for nothing, they started buying African slaves from some of the stronger tribes that were keeping slaves. They used them as labor force afterwards, and saw the long term benefit of it, so started to purchase more and more slaves. After the word spread out, and also after the other European countries started to have colonies, they too started to purchase African slaves, thus making it a huge business for both, them and the stronger African tribes that were selling the slaves to them.
