Why did African slaves replace native Americans as the primary labor sources in latin America?

African slaves replaced Native Americans as the primary labor sources in Latin America because Native American populations experienced devastating population declines due to diseases brought by Europeans and harsh working conditions in mines and plantations. African slaves were seen as more resistant to European diseases and better suited for the demands of large-scale agricultural work. This led to the widespread use of African slaves in Latin America to meet the growing labor needs of the colonizers.
