Slavery, because they used them to do all sorts of dirty work, such as working on sugar plantations. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The Spanish raided, tricked, and slaved people of the Americas. Their trades were not fair and were mostly an excuse to take everything from the natives of the land. There were many armed conflicts as well that Europeans won. Many of the Spanish wins were due the fact that they transmitted diseases that the locals could not handle. Eventually, the Spanish started enslaving the natives.
