Answer:
The use of large-scale slavery
Explanation:
Slavery was a traditional aspect of the Iberian colonization. Portugal and Spain were the first countries to spread their domains over America. To support the production of goods and the development of a profitable economy, Portugal and Spain began to use Africans as slaves. In Brazil and Hispanic America, African labor was used mainly for export crops within the plantation system. The money spent on the purchase of the enslaved before it produced, generating profit, led the settler to exploit slave labor until complete exhaustion. This was the way to redeem, in a short period, the amount paid for the goods (the enslaved). The extreme violence and the total absence of rights resulted in several riots and revolutions across the continent.
