They just worked them until they collapsed. If you read the histories of many Spanish slave colonies they did work many of their slaves to death. They did not let them marry and produce children, it was just cheaper just to work them until they dropped and then buy another one off of a ship. Anglo-Saxon culture is, to put it bluntly, just more humane than that of Spain’s.

Mexicans are the most racist people I have ever met.
There’s a phrase they use called “Prieto” for the darker toned folks among their population. It’s a a very derogatory word.
Interestingly enough, for whatever reason, Chinese or Asians are considered the lowest racial cast if you actually ever breach the subject in conversations.
I’ll have to read more about this subject in my down time. Thanks.
