The main reason was that Native Americans died in numbers that were too high (especially in the Caribbean) to become a viable labor force. The Spaniards were aware of the method of enslavement from Islamic Spanish States which had Black African slaves and knew the quality of those slaves. Therefore, it was logical to enslave Africans to build the colonial enterprise.
The idea that slavery is fundamentally wrong is entirely modern.
The Spanish used captive Africans for forced labor in their colonies, primarily in agriculture, mining, and domestic service. Africans were also used as slaves to generate wealth and resources for the Spanish Empire.
Plantation owners sought to enslave Africans for labor due to the demand for cheap and abundant labor to work in the fields. The transatlantic slave trade provided a steady supply of enslaved Africans to meet this demand, allowing plantation owners to maximize their profits from crops like sugar, cotton, and tobacco. The system of slavery also provided social, economic, and political power to the plantation owners.
The Spanish used captive Africans as a source of labor for tasks such as mining, agriculture, and domestic work. They were forced into slavery and treated as property by the Spanish colonizers.
Africans were involved in the transatlantic slave trade, capturing people from rival tribes or through warfare and selling them to European slave traders in exchange for goods or money. This trade was facilitated by the demand for labor in the Americas for agricultural work, leading to millions of Africans being forcibly taken from their homes and sent into slavery.
Spanish legal restrictions and outbreaks of disease made it difficult to enslave indigenous populations.
cause the spanish were looking for work!:)

Actually they didn't. In 1693 if a slave could make his or her way to Spanish held St Augustine Florida they would be free. Before the south had the Underground Railroad there was one going to Florida for escaping slaves.
