American mines, mills, and factory workers were not protected by laws before the 1850's. Since the government took a laissez faire (aka hands off approach) there was very little rules and restrictions on businesses. There was no: overtime laws, laws against child labor, minimum wage, laws about working hours, etc. All of these decisions were left up to the individual business owner.
The horrible working conditions in the aforementioned places would not really change until the Gilded Age (late 19th century-early 20th century). This time period saw the rise of organized labor and increased government regulation.
De Las Casas disapproved of how the conquest of the Americas had gone in the beginning. He cites how the people have been slaughtered due to the greed of the Spanish Conquistadors. The men cared nothing for the people. They wanted the Gold and Glory that went with conquering the indigenous peoples, like the Aztec and the Inca. Las Casas also points how the men care nothing for the souls of their captives. In his eyes they were there to bring God and Gospel of Christ. Gold is secondary to the fate of your soul. Gold fades and and cannot be taken to the next world.
