Sharp decrease in numbers of native Indians.
One of the main reasons why Spanish conquistadors had to look for slaves from Africa, was the radical decrease in the populations of native Indians. The Indians had either died out of diseases or during the war of conquest. In addition, inter marriages had also occurred, and usually the mestizos were exempted from months of forced hard labor in the farms and the mines. However the main cause of decline of populations of native Indians was diseases such as small pox which the Spanish colonists had brought with them.

A medieval european was most likely a serf, peasant, or a craftsman of some sort. These people represented the majority of the living populace in Europe in the middle ages. Their homes were simple, without excess luxury. They had the most basic necessities, but did not have much more, because they could not afford it. Families often lived together in huts where there was only one big space with a kitchen and a gathering place somewhere in the middle. Most European citizens at the time weren't educated, farmers, peasants, and serfs usually did not receive any formal education or very little, if they were lucky enough to be taught by the local priest or had somebody in their family that was educated. Their leisure activities were different from what we would call leisure activities today, they could singing, dancing, drinking, storytelling, etc. but how they did these things was quite different compared to today.
