However, when they arrived on the island known today as Puerto Rico it had already been inhabited by the Taíno tribe for centuries. While the two groups tried to keep the peace, eventually that attempt ran out, leading to the Spaniards enslaving the Taínos. Taking away their rights and forcing them to perform hard labor such as; working in the gold mines, in thesugar or ginger industry or performing domestic work. Due to this, many Taínos committed suicide out of resistance or became victims of the small pox disease that the new settlers had brought over. This unfair treatment eventually led to the attempted revolt of 1511 and the escape of many Taínos.
According to Rodney all other areas of the economy were disrupted by the slave trade as the top merchants abandoned traditional industries to pursue slaving and the lower levels of the population were disrupted by the slaving itself. Joseph E. Inikori argues the history of the region shows that the effects were still quite deleterious. He argues that the African economic model of the period was very different from the European, and could not sustain such population losses. Population reductions in certain areas also led to widespread problems. Inikori also notes that after the suppression of the slave trade Africa's population almost immediately began to rapidly increase, even prior to the introduction of modern medicines.
Also, Africans lost the right to work for themselves and were forced by the Europeans to labor in mines or collect rubber and other plants from the jungle. If the Africans were unable to fulfill the demands of the European soldiers, they were punished severely; many had their hands or ears cut off and some were killed. Another negative effect was that many Africans were brought to the Americas to

On the other hand the British did seem to want to improve the
Most people don’t realize that slavery didn’t start in the United States, it was actually started sometime in the 16th century, but the first Africans were sold in Jamestown around 1619. These people were brought over in huge disease ridden ships, with hardly any food or water, stuffed next to one another, unable to move for days upon weeks. They were then sold to the white man, a life of threats and beatings, forced to work and to reproduce to increase profits on the white’s so called free labor. Africans were tossed into the white plantation owner’s fields, farming products the ranged from tobacco to cotton, even farmed foods such as corn, rice, and sugar cane, depending on the region they were in. Most of these slaves
The ill-fated colony was almost immediately disrupted by a fight over leadership, during which the slaves revolted and fled the colony to seek refuge among local Native Americans. De Ayllón and many of the colonists died shortly afterwards of an epidemic and the colony was abandoned, leaving the escaped slaves behind on North American soil. In 1565, the colony of Saint Augustine in Florida, founded by Pedro Menendez de Aviles, became the first permanent European settlement in North America. It included an unknown number of free and enslaved Africans that were part of this colonial expedition. The first recorded Africans in British North America (including most of the future United States) arrived in 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia.
Slaves revolted by burning estates and buildings, destroying machinery and attacking the planters and overseers. Examples of huge revolts are the Berbice Rebellion in seventeen sixty three, the Haitian Revolution and the Barbados Rebellion in eighteen-sixteen. There were some revolts though which had been planned without any violence in mind such as the Christmas rebellion where the slaves were to strike and demand pay and the Demerara revolt. Despite the massive number of slaves who
