Answer:

There were two arguments that justified this position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first argument was that Europeans had a more favorable view on Native Americans than on Africans. They considered Native Americans to be "people", while they did not think the same of Africans.

The second argument is more practical. Europeans saw that Africans were stronger and could resist the hard work in cash crop plantations better than the Native Americans.
