What is true about both Portuguese and Spanish colonies in the Americas from 1450 to 1750?
  1. All colonies gained their independence by the end of the time period given.
  2. The Catholic Church was unsuccessful in converting natives in all of these colonies.
  3. The use of slave labor grew as the plantation system grew in these colonies.
  4. All colonies outlawed slave labor by 1750.
Explanation
Answer - C - In both Portuguese and Spanish colonies in the Americas from 1450 to 1750, the use of slave labor grew as the plantation system grew.

Key Takeaway: The plantation system grew wildly in both Spanish and Portuguese colonies from 1450 to 1750, leading to a great demand for slave labor. Slave labor was not outlawed until the next time period; the Catholic Church was greatly powerful in both areas; and neither country’s colonies gained independence until the 19th century.
