Are you sure

Yes, I am sure. The statement is false. The decline in Native American populations was indeed due to war and disease, but the importation of African slaves by Spain and Portugal was not specifically to offset this labor. African slavery had already been established as a labor system in the Americas prior to the decline of Native American populations.
