The Cruelties of the Spaniards Committed in America

My own view is that the Spaniards found the land of San Salvador contained with natives and others, and their first thought was to take control over the land for wealth. Though I concede that the Spaniards were doing what they were instructed to do, in the name of their own God and commerce, I still maintain that they were murdering the Native population simply out of greed and personal gain. For example, when the Natives tried to fight back the Spaniards tortured and killed them in unspeakeable ways. Although some might object that the " Humility and Patience of the Inhabinants..." promoted the actions of the Spaniards. I reply that the Natives were victims of being humble and passive people. This issue is important because all people have certain rights to their way of life and other cultures inference can destroy it.
