Possibly, but not that I am aware of. In Europe, feudalism and serfdom were dying out. Expanding European powers needed labor, especially for their new overseas colonies. As the number of white slaves diminished, black slaves gradually took their place, and it was believed that black people had been placed on earth by God to be slaves for white people. The Muslims practiced slavery at this time and earlier, and they even sold African slaves to the Europeans. The Spanish Inquisition may have been a factor, but based on my knowledge I doubt it.

How did Spanish exploration impact Mexico and South America?
After the New World was discovered in 1492, Spanish conquistadors rushed to explore and colonize all these lands for the Spanish Crown. By 1550 most of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America were conquered by conquistadors such as Hernan Cortes, Francisco Pizarro and Hernando de Soto. The most dramatic impact is the swift depopulation of the Americas due to European-brought disease, such as smallpox. The surviving populations were eventually mowed down by encroaching European colonists.
Why is south America often referred to as Latin America?
Because "almost all" countries from Mexico to Patagonia (in Argentina) speak a Latin language (the Latin languages are: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian).

Of course in the Caribbean a whole bunch of countries do not speak a Latin Language, but they are not included as "Latin America".

Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no simple answer to this question, as you are dealing with a period of nearly seven centuries, and many different inquisitions. The Medieval Inquisition ran from 1184-1230. The Spanish Inquisition from 1478 through 1834, the Portuguese Inquisition from 1536 through 1821, and the roman Inquisition from 1542 through 1860. When people in the the modern, western world refer to "The Inquisition", most of the time they are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was the only one which was NOT under the Church's control. The Spanish Inquisition was operated completely under the control of the Spanish crown and independent of the Holy See.Below are two links on the Inquisitions.
