Destruction of the Indies

How the Spaniards treated the natives was wrong. My view is that the Spaniards wanted to take their land and show the natives that they have the authority. The Spaniards had no right to hurt and kill innocent human beings. For example, "They dismiss'd their Hands half cut, and still hanging by the skin, to carry their letters missive to those that fly from us and ly sculking on the mountains". Although, some may disagree and believe that the natives got what they deserved but, the natives lived in peace and did nothing wrong to the Spaniards, and the Spaniards invaded their land and treated them worse than animals. This issue is important because the Spaniards mistreated the natives and took what matters the most to them, their freedom.
