Answer:

I have time to help with a few:

1. One was the small pocks disease, another was the flu, and one of the worst, measles.

2. Slaves required almost no money to keep alive and working, thus was more or less free labor. Free labor meant prophets doubled compared to when white men who had to be paid did the same jobs.

3. Essentially, colonists (or Americans, depending on the time frame) Had many years to develop cures to many diseases, yet because the native Americans had only a few years and relatively no technology, diseases were able to destroy them.

4. N/A

5. Cramped space, hundreds of slaves and disease meant they were more or less trapped with a lion, as disease killed many that were on the middle journey.

6. One was obviously hunger. Disease, lack of clothes, the beatings from their masters, and separation of family as well as discrimination were all pretty big factors to slave life.

7. N/A (although, if I had to guess, it's because they had a common factor; both were abused and disliked the white man)

8. Well, all of the factors from number 6 can be applied here. Essentially, slaves were like property; they do whatever you want them to do and you treat them as you like.

9. They were taken from their homes, stripped of their dignity and their rights/freedom. Religion was the one thing that the whites couldn't really take from them, and therefore was guarded with their lives.

10. Disease sometimes meant that some slaves didn't make it to America, and those that did didn't make it long due to disease (in combination with the factors of number 6). Disease made the transfer hard, as well as the life of the slave hard.

Sorry I couldn't fill every spot in, but I hope this can help in some way! :)
