The person that suggested that Africans be transported to the New World to do the work that Native Americans could not

Answer:

The Need for a New Labor Force

European diseases had a devastating effect on the Native American population.

Measles, smallpox, and typhuswere common in Europe. As a result, most adult

Europeans were immune, or had a natural resistance, to them. Native Americans,

however, had never been exposed to such diseases and had no immunity to them. As

a result, many Native Americans became terribly sick after their first encounters with

Europeans. Many of them died in the years after Columbus reached the New World.

No one knows how many Native Americans died from European diseases, but the loss

of life was staggering. Spanish author Fernando de Oviedoreported in 1548 about the

destruction of the Native Americans of Hispaniola. He reported that of the estimated 1

million Indians who had lived on the island in 1492, “there are now believed to be at the

present time...five hundred persons [left].” In North America the Native American

population north of Mexico was about 10 million when Columbus arrived. This number

would drop to less than a million. The drop in the native population played a major role

in the emerging need for an alternative labor force.

Plantation agriculture was a mainstay of the colonial economic structure. Spain

and Portugal established sugar plantations that relied on large numbers of native

laborers. In the 1600s English tobacco farmers in North America also needed workers

for their plantations. With a lack of Native American workers, they, too, needed another

source of labor. Plantation owners in both North and South America wanted a cheap

workforce.

Some colonists, including Spanish priest Bartolomé de Las Casas, suggested

using enslaved Africans as workers. Africans had already developed immunity to

European diseases. The colonists soon agreed that slaves from West Africacould be

the solution to their labor needs.

The Slave Trade

In 1510 the Spanish government legalized the sale of slaves in its colonies. The first full

cargo ship of Africans arrived in the Americas eight years later. Over the next century,

more than a million enslaved Africans were brought to the Spanish and Portuguese

colonies in the New World. The Dutch and English also became active in the slave

trade.

Middle Passage

Enslavement was a horrible experience for the slaves. Most enslaved people had been

captured in the interior of Africa, often by Africans who profited from selling slaves to

Europeans. The captives were chained around the neck and then marched to the coast.

This journey could be as long as 1,000 miles. The Middle Passagewas the voyage

across the Atlantic Ocean that enslaved Africans were forced to endure. Africans were

packed like cargo in the lower decks of the slave ships. The slaves were chained

together and crammed into spaces about the size of coffins. The height between the

decks was sometimes only 18 inches.

In this confinement, disease spread quickly, killing many Africans. Others

suffocated or died from malnutrition. Some slaves took their own lives to end their

suffering. It is estimated that one out of every six Africans died during the Middle

Passage.

African Diaspora

Between the 1520’s and 1860’s about 12 million Africans were shipped across the

Atlantic as slaves. More than 10 million of these captives survived the voyage and

reached the Americas. The slave trade led to the African Diaspora(A diaspora is a

scattering of people.) Enslaved Africans were sent all across the New World.

More than a third of the enslaved Africans, nearly 4 million people, were sent to

Brazil. Most of those slaves were forced to work on Portuguese sugar plantations.

Nearly 2 million slaves went to the colonies of New Spain. Some worked on plantations

in the Caribbean, while others were taken to the mines of Peru and Mexico. Some 3

million slaves worked in British and French Colonies in the Caribbean and Latin

America. More than 600,000 slaves went to Britain's North American colonies that later

became the United States.

Colonial leaders across the Americas developed laws that regulated slave

treatment and behavior. Slaves were given few rights in the colonies. The law

considered enslaved Africans to be property. In some colonies, a slaveholder was not

charged with murder if he killed a slave while punishing him. Enslaved Africans, on the

other hand, received harsh penalties for minor offenses, such as breaking a tool.

Runaways were often tortured and sometimes killed.

The treatment of enslaved Africans varied. Some slaves reported that their

The colony of Pennsylvania was established by William Penn as a 'Holy Experiment'. It was given to him by the king in 1681, in payment of a debt he had to Penn's father. Amongst the other English colonies, Penn was the first leader of his colony that established peace with the natives. Then Penn made a peace treaty with the Leni Lenape Indians and bought land from them. He hadn't needed to but did anyway, and it was this act, as well as other kind acts towards the natives that formed peace between them. This also ensured a prosperous beginning for the new settlers of Pennsylvania, as the natives helped them with their crops, learning the way of the land and many other useful things. Neither did they have wars that hurt the population. This is one of the reasons I'd want to live there, it is always good to have good relations, know what I mean? Philadelphia also means "Brotherly Love".
