The correct answer is D) all of the above.

Native American slavery existed in New Mexico because some people believed the term 'slave' applied only to African Americans, it had its roots in pre-Spanish times, and many people believed it was beneficial to New Mexican society.

Slavery in the state of New Mexico was legal from 1850 to 1862. Congress prohibited slavery in that year. But Spanish people keep on using slaves in their plantation. The Spanish people called Native slaves "Genizaros," and they were from tribes such as Navajo, Comanche, Ute, and Pawnee. Slaves were very important for the economy of the Southern states. In New Mexico, people believed that slavery was useful for society.  Slavery continued in the state until the Peonage Act of 1967.
