Answer:

African slaves were used primarily for forced labor due to their high reproduction rates and their resiliency.

Explanation:

At first, Native Americans were used to labor in the fields.

However, they were not used to the brutal conditions of forced labor and many died.

Also, new diseases such as typhoid and syphillus decimated the population.
