The New World lost of 90 percent of the native population due to diseases that they never had seen before. There had been about 80 million and only around 720,000 were left. The land appeared to be empty.
The natives never had been exposed to the deadly smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, gonorrhea, chlamydia, common cold, measles, influenza and chickenpox. They had no natural immunity to these.
The natives were taller, heaver and healthier than the colonists as many have remarked about that difference. But they could not survive the diseases that they were exposed to. Many were enslaved, as this was common during any colonization at this time. There were never enough, so slaves were brought from Africa and elsewhere.
