The colonists required labor for agriculture and other tasks so they brought in slaves, which was the cheapest form of labor available.
The slaves were brought on boats from Africa, usually in terrible conditions which led to many of them dying during the journey before even making it to America.
The slaves in the South worked mainly on the farms and plantations as the South had a lot of cultivatable land and the region's economy depended on it. Meanwhile, slaves in the New England and Middle regions were usually just house servants, cleaning, cooking and carrying out other tasks around their owner's house.

The Catholic Church became corrupted, due to its overgrown power. Because of the Pope's overspendings, the Pope started the Sales of Indulgences.

So in summery, the Catholic Church gained to much power ( more than the nobility) and it wanted more money. BTW, this only a little bit of it.
