Slavery in the Americas had a contentious history, and played a major role in the history and evolution of some
countries, triggering at least one revolution and one civil war, as well as numerous rebellions. The Aztecs had slaves.
Other Amerindians, such as the Inca of the Andes, the Tupinambá of Brazil, the Creek of Georgia, and the Comanche of Texas,
also owned slaves.
Slavery was prominent in Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean from the Americas, long before the beginnings of the transatlantic
slave trade. The maritime town of Lagos was the first slave market created in Portugal (one of the earliest colonizers of the
Americas) for the sale of imported African slaves—the Mercado de Escravos, opened in 1444. In 1441, the first slaves were
brought to Portugal from northern Mauritania.
In 1519, Mexico's first Afro-Mexican slave was brought by Hernán Cortés.
By 1552, black African slaves made up 10% of the population of Lisbon. In the second half of the 16th century,
the Crown gave up the monopoly on slave trade and the focus of European trade in African slaves shifted from import
to Europe to slave transports directly to tropical colonies in the Americas—in the case of Portugal, especially Brazil.
In the 15th century one-third of the slaves were resold to the African market in exchange of gold.
In order to establish itself as an American empire Spain had to fight against the relatively powerful civilizations of the New World. The Spanish conquest of the indigenous peoples in the Americas included using the Natives as forced labour. The Spanish colonies were the first Europeans to use African slaves in the New World on islands such as Cuba and Hispaniola
