Natives were subjects of the Spanish crown, and to treat them as less than human violated the laws of God, nature, and Spain. He told King Ferdinand that in 1515 scores of natives were being slaughtered by avaricious conquistadors without having been converted. They should have never slaughtered any other human an treated them as unhuman. Spanish colonizers attempted to integrate Native Americans into Spanish culture by marrying them and converting them to Catholicism. If I were in this situation, I would be severly frightened for my life. This is an extreme situation and should have never been handled the way it had been.
