Bartolome de Las Casas argues that the native peoples of the Americas were treated in a most horrible way, in a way contradictory to God's will, and I agree because of my beliefs of how the Spanish conducted themselves, even though I am basing my beliefs on information gleaned centuries after the fact. I am truly appalled at the idea of hanging the Indians, and the Spaniards made it only worse by the lighting of fires underneath the crudely constructed gallows, so as to save the conquering forces the task of cremating the bodies. All of this happened only for sport, after they had decimated the entire population of Indians, butchering not only men, but also the women and children.
