European colonizers' cruelty, as well as the spread of disease, meant that many Indigenous people died. This resulted in a shortage of labor for the plantations, making it largely unsuccessful in filling the need for workers. Additionally, the resistance and escape attempts by Indigenous peoples further hindered the success of enslaving them for labor on plantations.
