When the English and Spanish explorers came in contact with American Indians, both groups of explorers? 1)respected the American Indian way of life,
2)conquered and enslaved the American Indians,
3)avoided contact with the American Indians,
4)refused to trade with the American Indians

2) Conquered and enslaved the American Indians.

Explanation:

When the English and the Spanish explorers first came to America, the first encounter was something that was not favorable for the natives. The new arrivals not only saw the natives as inferior but also took them as slaves and less of an equal.

The explorers saw the natives as different in terms of culture, behavior, lifestyle, food, etc. while the same was also from the Native Indian's perspective. This difference in each others' opinion would lead to the differences in their approaches.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
