Why did Spanish plantation owners in the West Indies begin using enslaved Africans instead of enslaved natives? 1Plantation owners could trade food and clothing for enslaved people.
2European diseases had killed much of the native workforce.
3Plantation owners wanted to help enslaved Africans pay their debts.
4Africans would only sell enslaved people to plantation owners.

Correct answer is European diseases had killed much of the native workforce.

Explanation:

As we all know around 90 percent of Natives died because of the diseases and other problems that were brought to them by Europeans. That is why they could only turn themselves to slave trade. Slaves were usually imported from Africa.

Other answers are false, especially options one and three, which have no connection with historical events. When it comes to option 4 it was actually pretty often that Africans would sell slaves to Europeans.

so, colonists did not want to pay any taxes.  

colonists did not consider themselves british citizens.  

colonists felt no sense of obligation to britain.  

colonists objected to violations of their natural rights. are the answer choices?
