Yes, there was slavery in Mexico.
When the Spanish began colonizing Mexico during the 16th century they used the indigenous people as slaves, but most of them died due to European-brought diseases such as smallpox, and to the brutal conditions imposed by the conquerors. 90-95% of the population died within the following 50 years, prompting Spain and Portugal to acquire slave labor from other sources; namely western Africa.
