Gold, silver, and sugar are
among the many reasons why the Spaniards enslaved Native Americans and
Africans. Spaniards used these people not only to be as miners but also as
craftsmen, herders, and domestic laborers. These people were forced to work for
many hours but were only paid depending on the amount of gold and silver they
mined. In some cases, particularly in Peru, Africans were not used to the high
altitude and the cost for clothing and feeding was high. As a measure for this
the Spaniards used the Native Americans to mine for them at low temperatures
and higher grounds while the Africans were in Mexico panning for gold.
