Question

Since the Spaniards didn’t want to work in the fields, and the Taino and other natives were dying out from diseases, who was brought to the islands to work in the fields? Question 2 options: A) African slaves B) Asian laborers C) Europeans peasants

Answer 1

Option: A) African slaves

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish treatment towards the Taino was poor as they exploited them. Spanish introduce African slaves in the Caribbean as the Native people died from European disease and colonial violence. The slaves brought in the Caribbean were the first Africans to be enslaved after crossing the Atlantic. African Slaves brought to work in the fields at the place of Native Indians as they were strong and could work for hours because of their body structure.
