Both American Indians and Africans were treated almost the same but the Indian's were left alone if they stayed away from the Europeans and the Africans didn’t have that choice. They were chased and captured to become slaves.

Africans were treated different because they had better work ethics, were immune to the disease, and all work the Europeans made them do.

The American Indians were also treated better than Africans because they would trade with the Europeans and they also had valuable things that Europeans wanted.
