Why were 500 natives sent to Spain to be sold as slaves?

Hi, Friend!

Columbus could not find the huge wealth he had anticipated. If he could not return with gold and silver, he would need another scheme. That plan was to enslave the natives. He promised the king "slaves, as many as they shall order."

On the second voyage, begun in 1493, Columbus ordered natives to be rounded up and returned to Spain to be sold. In February 1494, several dozen Indian slaves arrived in Spain. Columbus expected them to be sold and the money used to buy cattle and supplies to be shipped to the New World.
