There are several reasons as to why the white American colonists created a slave labor system, some of which are:
- They created enormous plantations of cash crops. This meant that lot of labor was needed and the white colonists were not in high enough number, nor were they willing to engage in such a high intensity labor. The best solution for them were the slaves.
- Initially the white colonists planned on using the Native Americans as labor force. This didn't went as planned as the majority of the Native Americans died out because of diseases they brought from Europe, as well as conflicts and displacements.
- The slaves were relatively cheap and abundant, as well as easy to get. Once they were bought they were the cheapest and most efficient possible work force, as they were not paid, only provided with shelter and food, and the owners had total control over theme, thus often forcing them to work throughout all of the day.

The similarity between the two Industrial Revolutions is that they both involved an increase in the degree to which machines were being used to do tasks that had once been done in other ways. Yes, there were differences in that the earlier Industrial Revolution was more about things capital goods like steam engines while the second was about consumer goods. But, in both cases, the main thing that was going on was an increase in the use of machinery. This is what they have in common and what makes it legitimate to call both of these "Industrial Revolutions."
