Detailed explanation-1: -To meet the mounting demand for labor in mining and agriculture, the Spanish began to exploit a new labor force: slaves from western Africa. Slavery was a familiar institution to many sixteenth-century Europeans.
Detailed explanation-2: -The penalty for illegally importing slaves from abroad to the territory was a fine of $300. In the Slave Trade Act of 1800, Congress outlawed U.S. citizens’ investment in the trade, and the employment of U.S. citizens on ships involved in the trade.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many historians have concluded that Renaissance and early modern Spain had the highest enslaved Africans in Europe. After encountering indigenous people in the New World, the Spanish colonialists decided to use it for commercial production and mining because of the absence of trading networks.
Detailed explanation-4: -We now believe that as many as 1, 506, 000 enslaved Africans arrived in the Spanish Americas directly from Africa between 1520 and 1867. We further estimate that an additional 566, 000 enslaved Africans were disembarked in Spanish America from other European col-onies in the New World, such as Jamaica and Brazil.
