Statement first is true in this regard because the Spanish had a caste system that included free Africans and former slaves. Cristopher Columbus established the “first Spanish colony” in America, in what now is Haiti and The Dominic Republic.

Since the beginning, Spanish used slavery from Indigenous people in the Americas and they also brought black Africans. Spanish had “Castas”, the equivalent of racial and social hierarchies. Spanish considered slaves inferior beings.

It is true that some people of African descent were not slaves in Spain's American colonies. We know this because of the written records that have been left from that era. Although most African people in America were enslaved, some of them were able to achieve their freedom, particularly in the Spanish colonies. There were several pathways for this. Some slaves were emancipated. Other had such a small percentage of African heritage that they could be considered members of other races. Finally, some others were able to buy their freedom or achieve it through heroic and admirable deeds.

Hello. This question does not contain the source to which it refers. However, it is possible to find the same question and the source with a quick internet search.

Answer:

D. The introduction of the slave trade to the Atlantic World.

Explanation:

Source 1 presents the beginning of the African slave trade, also known as the transatlantic trade, which allowed that during 1450 to 1750 a large number of African slaves were bought at very low prices and transported to different parts of the world, mainly to the American continent, to be part of the workforce of the farms in European colonies spread across the continent. Most of these slaves came from West Africa and were sold by other Africans, but it was common for Europeans to sail to Africa and capture slaves with their own hands to be sold on the American continent, which was more profitable for the sellers.
