Say Brother; What is Concilio?; 710; Ethnic history of Puerto Rico
- Transcript
Indian rebellions and wars against the colonists soon led to the gradual extermination of the native Indian population, the colonists free labor force. The encomienda was soon abolished and the Indian workforce was replaced by African slaves. In 1521 the importation of Africans began and by 1530 the slave trade operated freely between Africa and the islands of the Caribbean. The arrival of Africans marked the beginning of a new nationality in the new world, the Puerto Rican. The mixture of Spaniards, Indians and Africans resulted in the development of the Puerto Rican identity, a mixture of people different in color, physiognomy and personality, but of one history and of one culture.
