Fray Bartolome de Las Casas sailed with Columbus on Columbus's third voyage, 1498-1500. Las Casas had probably met Columbus before the famous 1492 voyage because Las Casas's father sailed with Columbus to the New World (Las Casas would have been about nine years old in 1492). During his own voyage with the captain, Las Casas saw both Columbus the explorer and Columbus the governor. Las Casas had high praise for Columbus the explorer because of the sailor's efforts to bring Christianity to the Native Americans. For Columbus the governor, however, Las Casas had a much different view. Las Casas was shocked by the atrocities against the Indians which were allowed by Columbus.
Bartolome de Las Casas was 92 years old when he died.

To fill the labor shortage, Las Casas urged colonists to import workers from Africa. He believed that Africans were immune to tropical diseases and had skills in farming, mining, and metalworking.
Bartolomé de Las Casas did not advocate for the enslavement of Africans in Spain. In fact, he was strongly opposed to the enslavement and mistreatment of indigenous people in the Spanish colonies as well. Las Casas proposed the idea of importing African slaves instead of using indigenous people as a means to protect the rights and well-being of the indigenous populations.

European colonizers, particularly Portuguese and Spanish explorers, were among the first to suggest and implement the use of Africans as slaves during the transatlantic slave trade in the 15th century. As demand for labor in the New World grew, European powers authorized the capture and forced labor of Africans to work on plantations and in mines.
