Why did spanish and portuguese begin using african slaves in their new world colonies in the 1500s

The slavery in America includes the enslavement of part of the indigenous population from the discovery of America and the subsequent importation to America of slaves captured in sub-Saharan Africa.

After the discovery of America in 1492 by the Spaniards, the transportation of blacks from Arguin to Santo Tomé and San Jorge de la Mina and the Cape Verde islands increased enormously due to the demand of thousands of slaves. This became a big business for latifundistas, merchants, slavers and European kings.

The king of Portugal derived benefits from this through the House of Slaves, with the seat of the black out of the factories, and the Spanish monarchs made profits to cost to sell licenses to allow black slaves to America. The license to transport a slave cost 8 ducats and in the 16th century more than 120,000 licenses were granted in Spain.

As in many areas of America there were not many Indians left because of the epidemics, but the demand for labor continued to grow, the Spaniards began to import African slaves. Even the friar Bartolomé de las Casas recommended the importation of Africans to eliminate the shortage,

The slaves were used habitually in the haciendas and obrajes as well as in the American mining. The first slaves were requested by the Franciscan friars and the Royal Audience of Santo Domingo to work on the plantations. Then they were requested by Mexico, Peru and the Río de la Plata.

it was the first amendment

congress seems to have some powers the states do not have. they can do some pretty big things, they can declare war. and they can lead armies and navies. they also have the power to create a mail delivery system, make foreign treaties, print and borrow money, (both states and congress can do that)and make rules for certain places, i think they said the western states.  

the new government has been a big to growing their country! they are getting new land over west. and they are passing laws which to settle boundary issues.  

although most of this information sounds good for them, bad for us, there are some weaknesses from their plan. the people are still having issues with taxes and trading goods, they also don't have a main leader such as a chief or a president. they also have trouble with currency. the states are printing out so much money the national currency is beginning to be worthless. so things are getting hard to handle over here.  

some of the americans like the new government and think that even if they could ask about changing it they would be ignored. daniel shays got a group of people who hated the new government and decided to attack. this could become either worse or better.

(one-paragraph analysis)  

i think that they may start a war or some sort of big attack to make them change their government. most americans just don't want to discuss it. but i think that daniel man will speak up for them. if they do scare them they will get a better government and be able to deal with their issues better! i think that is what is going to happen next in the u.s., sincerely
