Slavery in the Spanish colonies began with settlers' enslaving the local indigenous peoples in the Antilles. The Spanish colonists used production quotas to force the local labor to work, in order to generate a return on their expedition and colonization investments. During the first decades of the colonization, the widespread and abusive slavery resulted in the deaths of thousands of indigenous peoples, who died from forced labor in crop fields, mines and searching for gold.

The entire population of North American in 1600 is estimated at 1 million. So there were not millions dying. Initial contact with Europeans introduced a large number of diseases to the native population. The East Coast of the continent was devastated, and the Pilgrims arrived to find abandoned villages and a very low native population.

Disease
The Spanish began using slaves from Africa because the Native American population was declining due to diseases and harsh labor conditions. They turned to African slaves as a source of labor for their colonies in the Americas.

Many Native Americans converted to Christianity because they thought this was the only way to save themselves from dying from the Europeans' diseases. They also lost their religion. The 'encomienda' system (legalized slavery) also negatorily affected their simple way of life.Many Native American populations were utterly destroyed by the Europeans' previously unknown diseases long before they ever actually laid eyes on them. Smallpox, chicken pox and the measles were unkown in North America before the Europeans' arrival.Thanks to the "Mission System' employed by the Spanish Conquistadores, many Native American religious practices, customs, and uiltimately, languages were lost forever. Many Native Americans were virtually enslaved. Others were outright tricked and killed by the "civilized" intruders.Please access the related link listed below for more information:

In the first few decades of the Spanish presence in the Caribbean, large numbers of Native Americans were enslaved and forced to work on Spanish projects. Columbus himself was infamous for the brutal way that he treated the Taíno people, the natives of Hispaniola island, forcing them into slave labor in the recently excavated mines. The work was so callous and so brutal that significant percentages of the Hispaniola Taíno population died from overwork and fellow Spaniards reported him to Queen Isabella, who was in turn so enraged at the conduct that she demanded that he return to Spain. (Remember that this is the same "humanitarian" Queen Isabella who is responsible for the Spanish Inquisition.)The Native Americans in the Caribbean died in record numbers within decades of the Spanish arrival, primarily from foreign diseases, but also from overwork. The Spaniards needed a labor force to fill the lower rungs of the social ladder in order for the colonial expedition to be profitable. Since the enslavement of Africans was quite accepted in Spain due to the former Islamic rulers having African slaves and participating in the African Slave Trade, it was only natural for the Spaniards to expand this trade and begin to use Africans to replace the dying Natives.
