In 3–5 sentences, explain why enslaving the Indigenous peoples of the Americas was largely unsuccessful in filling the need of the plantations. Support your answer by using one piece of qualitative and one piece of quantitative information from Las Casas’s writing.
Enslaving the Indigenous peoples of the Americas didn't work so well because they were not used to working on plantations and got sick really easily. Las Casas said that a lot of them died from diseases like smallpox, and a lot of them just ran away. Plus, they weren't as good at farming as the African slaves were.
