Mita system was one of the best inventions of the Incan government! Enormous construction of structures and highways was made possible because of the system. In the system all the people worked for the government for a certain period of time. This labor was free to government. During the Incan period, people were needed to work only 65 days to provide food for their family. So they had ample time afterwards. When it was someone elses turn,they had to join Mita. It was like the public service systems of modern times. Government took care of the family who was absent in the while working in MIta. In Mita people worked in building highways, construction of Emperor and nobles, monuments, bridges,houses, temple fields, Emporer fields and also mines.

Sloan [31]

This passage expresses some of the negative attitudes that English settlers had towards American Indians.

First, the quotes serve to highlight the fact that colonists did not feel particularly bad for the deaths of the natives, as they show no empathy towards them. They were most likely indifferent to the loss of culture and the disruption of family life that this caused as well.

Moreover, it shows that they knew the reasons why the Indians were dying (smallpox), but had no interest in taking any measures to prevent it.

Third, they show a sense of entitlement over the lands of the indigenous people. As most of them have died, and the population cannot defend itself, they have no problem in taking their land forcefully.

Finally, by comparing themselves to the Spanish, they also show awareness of the destruction and chaos that colonial powers have created in other places, and are thankful that they did not have to engage in a difficult war with the Native Americans.
