The priest who suggested Spain bring Africans to work in the Americas was Bartolomé de las Casas. Initially, he advocated for the use of Indigenous labor but later changed his stance and proposed the importation of African slaves as a solution to the declining Indigenous population. His shift in perspective was influenced by the harsh realities faced by Indigenous peoples under Spanish colonization. Despite his intentions to alleviate suffering, this suggestion contributed to the establishment of the transatlantic slave trade.
