slavery in the Americas started when the Europeans came over and they started to enslave the native people
When the Europeans came to the Americas they had an impact on the Indians. They brought diseases that killed over 3/4 of the indians.
when the europeans first came to the Americas they brought diseases which the native Americans weren't immuned to. therefore they died and the europeans had no one to work and farm the lands. they knew that africans had immunity so they enslaved them and brought them to the Americas. another reason native Americans died was because the europeans had guns and were in constant warfare with them.
