2: It was a logistical god send because of the Colombian Exchange and advancement of sailing technology that allowed for Africa to become the in-between from Europe to South America which allowed for the selling of sugar/Rum in Africa while buying slaves to sell in North and South America.
3: They were a fairly easy "resource" to "harvest" because many warrior tribes inhabited Africa and would capture and sell their competing neighbors to the slave traders in exchange for rum and weapons/supplies.<span />
