Detailed explanation-1: -In the Southeast, a few Native American tribes began to adopt a slavery system similar to that of the American colonists, paying to “own” and use captive African American people for profit, especially the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek.

Detailed explanation-2: -This preference led to the development of the Atlantic Slave Trade. It was Charles V who gave a definite answer to this complicated and delicate matter. To that end, on November 25, 1542, the Emperor abolished the enslavement of natives by decree in his Leyes Nuevas New Laws.

Detailed explanation-3: -The slave trade of Native Americans lasted until around 1730. It gave rise to a series of devastating wars among the tribes, including the Yamasee War. The Indian Wars of the early 18th century, combined with the increasing importation of African slaves, effectively ended the Native American slave trade by 1750.

Detailed explanation-4: -By 1495, Christopher Columbus was in trouble. The riches he had imagined finding in Asia were not materializing in the New World, and the costs of his voyages were mounting. Sending indigenous people back to Europe as slaves became his solution.
