I believe it was negative. When the colonist arrived from Spain to Latin America, many Natives died and were killed, and I do not think that is such a great thing. I believe that the discovery of Latin America did contribute to many new discoveries such as foods and the columbian exchange that changed the diets of Europeans which made people more healthy and live longer. However, all these discoveries of animals, and foods lead to famine, death, and disease among the Native Americans hence also leading to slavery due to the many deaths of Natives, the colonist needed workers so, slavery then happened.
