Read the passage by Bartolome de las Casas Since New Spain was discovered great atrocities were committed against the indigenous people of the
region and some were killed by members of the expedition. These so-called Christians set about stealing
from the people and murdering them on the pretense of settling the aree. And since that time, the great
iniquities and injustices, the outrageous acts of violence and the bloody tyranny of these Christians have
stacilly escalated, the perpetrators having lost all fear of God and all sense of self-respect.
