Is it true that African slaves were brought to replace native American slaves who died from disease or over work?
No, not true. The first African American slave arrived in the American colonies in 1619 and prior to that there were no slaves. The Spanish did attempt to make Southwestern Native Americans into slaves, but it didn't work out. When the English colonies began in 1607 with Jamestown there was no thought of using the Native Americans as slaves. The Northeastern tribes did not lend themselves to this type activity. Jamestown settled into an area of over 14,000 Native Americans and 8,000 miles of settlement/land and they were only 104 men, so if any slavery had been attempted the Native Americans would have won the battle. In 1492 Columbus did suggest in his diary that the naives he found in the Bahamas would make good slaves and the Spanish missions did treat the Native Americans in the Western areas poorly and killing them, but the slave trade of African American people began because the labor was needed and Indentured servants didn't work out.

The statement that "most people in the New World did not rely on livestock to help them grow food" is supported by the fact that before the Columbian Exchange, "Native Americans cultivated maize, potatoes, and other crops without the use of plows or draft animals." This suggests that their agricultural practices did not involve the use of livestock for farming activities.

Why do you call Indians Native Americans?
Because when Columbus got here, he had the silly notion that he arrived in India, so he called them Indians. We call them the more politically correct, Native Americans, because technically, they are not from India, henceforth no Indians. They were also 'native' to this country which we call America, so they are Native Americans.
