Native Americans were taken to work on plantations and haciendas in Central and South America primarily due to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. European settlers sought labor to cultivate cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and coffee, which were highly profitable. The indigenous populations were often forced into servitude through systems like encomienda and repartimiento, exploiting their labor while decimating their numbers through disease and harsh working conditions. This exploitation was driven by the colonizers' need for a reliable workforce to maximize agricultural production and economic gain.
Spain conquered Central America and the Caribbean, forced them to speak Spanish, and when Spain arrived they dug plantations and haciendas.
