Spain began sending African slaves to South America, where they had founded colonies, in the 1500's, or more particularly, around 1510. Before this, the Spainards in South America used the Native Americans as slaves. However, African slaves were more used to rigerous farm work and heat, so they worked longer and harder than the Native Americans.

Slavery in Spain dates back to Roman times, when slaves were used for labor and domestic work. During the Middle Ages, slavery continued to be practiced, with captives from raids and warfare being enslaved. The transatlantic slave trade also brought enslaved Africans to Spain and its colonies in the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.
