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.
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.
South Carolina adopted the use of disease-resistant West African slaves in its rice plantations. These slaves brought knowledge of rice cultivation, contributing to the success of the rice industry in the region. Their resistance to diseases such as malaria also made them preferable for work in the challenging plantation environments.
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.
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.
The Spanish treated American Indians in various ways, including forced labor, enslavement, conversion to Christianity, and cultural assimilation. There were instances of brutal violence, exploitation, and disease brought by the Spanish colonizers, leading to a significant decline in indigenous populations. However, interactions and treatment varied among different Spanish colonizers and regions.

Sickle cell can not be "caught". It is an inherited genetic disease and is only in the African American community.
