Why did African slavery replace Native American slavery on the encomienda system Quizlet

1. slavery is an accepted institution and it economically and politically rational for rulers and merchants.
2. increased demand for gold created a need for a labor force of slaves.
3. they wanted to trade their gold for other things like salt (to preserve food), textiles, metals and weapons.
4. constraints= they started running out of people to ship and people equals power, so if they ship all of their people out then they lose power.
they had the option to get involved or to not get involved,whether or not to enslave "insiders" Example 1: Queen Nzinga (in control, chooses to stop trading people) (Angola area) Example 2: King Alfonso of Kongo (wrong people being taken, begs Portuguese to stop)

Africans began selling people into the slave trade because slavery was an accepted institution and it was economically beneficial of them to do so because they were able to obtain goods such as salt, textile, and metal in return. Getting involved in the slave trade was beneficial because it allowed Africans to obtain greater access to goods, but it was hurtful because as they lost people, they began to also lose power.
