Many Renaissance-era Europeans viewed the newly discovered Indians as exotic and primitive beings because of their unfamiliar customs and ways of life. Some Europeans also saw the Indians as savages who needed to be converted to Christianity or enslaved for economic gain. Overall, the attitudes varied among individuals but were often shaped by a Eurocentric perspective that placed Europeans at the center of civilization.
The attitudes of the Spanish toward the American Indians varied, ranging from viewing them as subjects to be converted and assimilated into Spanish culture, to seeing them as obstacles to be conquered and subjugated. Some Spanish settlers also engaged in the exploitation and mistreatment of indigenous populations for economic gain.

African slaves were brought in to replace the Native West Indians who died off working on Spanish plantations. This was due to the devastating effects of diseases brought by Europeans and harsh working conditions in the plantations.
The European way of life at that time was more focused on industrialization, technology, and hierarchy, while the Taino way of life was more communal, centered around agriculture, fishing, and spiritual beliefs. Europeans valued individualism and ownership, while Tainos had a more collective approach to land and resources sharing. This led to conflicts and misunderstandings between the two cultures when they encountered each other in the Americas.
Indians grew a variety of crops, including corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers, known as the "Three Sisters" crops. They also cultivated tobacco, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Furthermore, Indigenous peoples across the Americas domesticated several varieties of maize, amaranth, quinoa, and tomatoes.
