In Spanish colonies, slaves were forced to work on plantations, in mines, and in households. They were subjected to harsh living and working conditions, with little to no rights or freedoms. Slavery was a central part of the colonial economy in Spanish territories.
The Spanish granted refuge to escaped slaves from England as a way to disrupt British colonies and weaken their economic and military power. By offering freedom to escaped slaves, the Spanish hoped to gain allies against the English and strengthen their own position in the region. Additionally, providing refuge to escaped slaves allowed the Spanish to undermine the institution of slavery in British colonies.
The slaves mad them rich, and they also had made them feel powerful.

The Spanish obtained African slaves through the transatlantic slave trade, which involved capturing and trading Africans from various regions of Africa to the Americas. This practice was driven by the demand for labor in the Spanish colonies, particularly for work on plantations and in mines.
Africans were seen as more physically capable of enduring the labor-intensive work required in plantations and mines compared to Native Americans, who were more susceptible to European diseases. Additionally, African slaves were unfamiliar with the land and less likely to escape due to the language barrier, making them a more profitable choice for colonization.

Yes, there were Spanish-speaking slaves in the Americas during the colonial period. Many of these slaves were brought from Africa and spoke various languages or dialects, but some of them may have been able to communicate in Spanish due to their exposure to Spanish-speaking slave owners or through interactions with other slaves who spoke Spanish.
