Final answer:

If the Spanish continued doing Native American slave labor, the Native Americans would have faced more suffering and exploitation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Spanish continued doing Native American slave labor, the Native Americans would have faced more suffering and exploitation. The Spanish settlers believed they had the right to exploit the native peoples as laborers and tried to force them into farming and mining. However, the indigenous people suffered from diseases brought by the Europeans and the cruel treatment they were subjected to, leading to large numbers of deaths. The Spanish eventually turned to African slaves as a more dependable labor source.
