6. The Increased Need for Slaves
When the Spanish conquered (took over) land in South America they developed colonies. A colony is a settlement of people from another country in an new country.
When the Spanish came to South America they enslaved the Native Americans. They made them work long hours in the fields. Also, the Spanish brought with them disease which along with the harsh working conditions killed the Native Americans. The deaths created the increased need for slaves, so the Spanish turned to Africa to get these slaves.
