Many Native Americans started to die off because of the diseases. Alot of the native Americans also started to escape,fight back, and many of them died off. They also felt that Africans were cheaper. AnswerThe Native Americans were less resistant to the diseases that the Europeans brought over. The Portuguese and other sailors had already made the selling of African slaves an established trade. In North America, the settlers initially weren't in a position to take Native Americans as slaves because they lived a precarious existence that needed to be at peace with the Natives to continue. AnswerThere were more Africans available and the Europeans found it more pracitcal to buy Africans from Africans than to attempt to capture "Native Americans."

What was one result of northern whites fears of racial equality?
The North in general opposed slavery, however, if it was abolished, many whites had concerns. Many believed that freed slaves would move north and take jobs at lower pay then whites. This was an economic fear. Also, although whites had sympathy for slaves, freeing them and giving them the same equality as whites cut into their racism. They truly believed that Blacks were inferior people. To have them be on an equal basis as whites was a problem for them. There was little fear of race riots.
