The Spanish were more over concerned with silver for trading in Asia, the Portuguese wanted wealth and obtained it through cash crops, sugar was a main cash crop that made them wealthy because before then only china were the suppliers of this rare item. It was sold to the ones that could afford it (elite & wealthy.) Anyway Mayan Slaves were used to dig into these boroughs; mine for silver. Conditions were so bad before. Many of them died because of their exposure to disease. At one point the population was in the millions about a couple of years later after the settlement of Spanish colonies, the population was a few mere thousands. They often lived for 7 years working in these mines. Those who died were replaced, and in the long run, the Spanish decided that Africans would do the job better and live longer because they were exposed to the diseases before and they soon adapted to them.
