Answer:

To obtain a more disease-resistant labor force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natives from the whole american continent died frequently of diseases that they were familiarized with. They did try to enslave the natives as well, but it didn't go so well because most of them would die from diseases that had never reached that land (such as the flu, chickenpox, STDs).
