-Slavery started from the beginning of the European colonization of [[Hispaniola]] trough ruthless and cruel governors, such as [[Nicolás de Ovando]] in the early 1600's. After genocidal warfare, slavery and many massacres had decimated the indigenous [[Taíno]] and the enslavement of natives of other islands was not sufficient, Ovando was the first to bring African slaves to the colony, and therefore to the Americas.
