Spanish colonization of the Americas began with the capture and subjugation of local Indigenous peoples of the Americas, first of the Native Caribbean people by Christopher Columbus on his four voyages. Initially, enslavement represented one means by which the Columbus and other Castilians mobilized native labor and met production quotas. In 1501 the Spanish monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, granted permission to the colonists of the Caribbean to import African slaves.

In the souther states the weather was ideal for the cotton crops. The Eurpeans could not and the white could not work in the field in hot weather and the natives were to wild to keep them restrained. The black Afrincan fit the profile of a person born to work in the cotton fields.
