Why were Africans used as slaves instead of Native Americans?
Were there any instances where Native Americans were forced into slavery?
While Native Americans were often enslaved by European colonizers in various regions of North and South America, the practice was not as widespread as the enslavement of Africans. This was mainly due to the fact that most Native Americans were free people with their own established societies, and thus harder to capture and control than Africans who were often at war and living in disorganized communities.
