Question

What was one of the main reasons the Portuguese and Spanish failed at enslaving Native people of the new world ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option D.

Explanation: The African “role” encompasses the transportation, exploitation, and suffering of many millions in New World slavery, while Indians are described in terms of their succumbing in large numbers to disease, with the survivors facing dispossession of their land. This paradigm—a basic one in the history of colonialism—omits a crucial aspect of the story: the indigenous peoples of the Americas were enslaved in large numbers.

Answer 2

Many of the natives died from overwork and disease.
