The Spanish began using African slaves on their plantations due to a shortage of indigenous laborers caused by disease, exploitation, and resistance. African slaves were seen as a more available and cost-effective labor source for colonial agriculture.
The African slaves had a higher immunity to the disease that came with being a slave because they were use to being around those germs and such but the Native American slaves got sick very quick and died because their body was not use to being around the germs and diseases.
The islands were producing far more agriculturally at this time then the mainland, so it make sense that the first African slaves went to Hispaniola. The crops that were being grown during the 16th and 17 century in this area were very labor intensive. Due to disease and all that, that native Taino population on the island was wiped out and it was therefore necessary for the Spanish plantation owners to look elsewhere for cheap labor. The beginning of the slave trade comes about after pretty much the same sequence of events everywhere in the Americas, just at different times. Need for increased labor --> loss of native population from disease --> slave trade
Yes, there were instances where African slaves were brought to the Americas to replace Native American slaves who had died from disease or overwork. This happened particularly in regions where Native American populations had been decimated by European diseases and harsh working conditions. African slaves were seen as a more resilient and available labor force by European colonizers.
African slaves taken to Hispaniola faced harsh conditions including forced labor, disease, and mistreatment. Many died due to these conditions, resulting in a high mortality rate among the African slave population on the island. The experiences of African slaves in Hispaniola contributed to the long-lasting impact of slavery on the island and its society.
The colony you are referring to is likely the Carolina colony, where disease-resistant African slaves were employed to work in the extensive rice plantations due to their immunity to malaria and other tropical diseases prevalent in the region. This labor force played a crucial role in the economic success of the plantation economy in the Carolina colony during the colonial period.

No they are generally resistant to malaria
Something that grows fast and prolific and lasts a long time into cold wet weather. Mostly hybrids that have disease resistant parents.
slaves were brought to brazil because when the portuguese setled on the east coasts of brazil, they discoverd sugar. They then made sugar plantations on the land. They began to import african slaves to work in the sugar plantations
People with sickle cell disease, or who carry sickle cell trait, are said to be resistant to malaria.
some kid
GM crops having disease resistant genes hence they are resistant to disease and pests so they not need more use of pesticide.
The equivalent of the English word disease in African luhya language is "EObulwale".
He died, "from an extensive disease of the lungs".
He was an American botanist, who developed the disease-resistant Burbank potato.
The first African slaves were brought to Española (now part of the Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1502. The Spanish crown authorized the importation of enslaved Africans to work on plantations and in mines, as the indigenous population had drastically declined due to disease and exploitation. This marked the beginning of a significant African presence in the Caribbean and laid the groundwork for the transatlantic slave trade.
