because the indigenous people were dying of disease and the Spanish needed people to work on the farm lands.
African slavery grew in Latin America primarily due to labor demands in the plantation economies, such as sugarcane, coffee, and tobacco. The indigenous population was decimated by diseases brought by European colonizers, creating a need for alternative labor sources. African slaves were seen as a more reliable and abundant workforce, leading to the growth of the transatlantic slave trade in Latin America.
Exploration expanded the reach of the African slave trade by opening up new markets for enslaved people in the Americas. European powers sought slaves to work in their colonies, leading to an increase in demand for African captives. This demand resulted in intensified slave raids and increased the scale of the transatlantic slave trade.
Yes, many African and Native slaves had knowledge and skills in crop cultivation, passed down through generations. They often used this expertise to grow crops on plantations and provide food for themselves and their communities.
African slaves were used instead of Native Americans or indentured servants because they were believed to be more immune to European diseases, had experience in agriculture, and were seen as easier to enslave for life due to physical differences. Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade made African slaves more widely available and profitable for European colonizers.

The ability of West African farmers to grow more food allowed for a surplus of resources, which in turn enabled some individuals to specialize in other tasks aside from farming, such as crafting goods, trading, or governing. This labor specialization led to the development of more complex societies and economies in the region.

From the pampas to the Amazon River Basin to the Andes Mountains, those three things all affect Latin America by making it harder to travel easier to farm and grow plants and giving them more water but they can also hurt the people of Latin America as well.
