For this essay I will be talking about the book “A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies” by Bartolomé de Las Casas. Whom wrote this to the King of Spain, Prince Philip II, in 1542 to protest what was happening in the New World to the native people. I will be explaining many things during this essay. The first thing I will go over is what the books tells us about the relationship between Christianity and the colonialism. The second thing I will talk about is if it was enough to denounce the atrocities against indigenous people. Next, if it is possible to

The dominant portion of the excerpt is Bergreen's exposition of various historical arguments against Columbus, his foremost example being the works of Bartolomé de Las Casas. He integrates much of de Las Casas' work through the use of direct quotations, which helps to maintain a rigorous and analytical tone. This serves to improve Bergreen's credibility and reinforce the reader's initial impression of him as a rigorous and learned historian—an appeal to ethos. Through the use of direct quotations such as "Las Casas championed the nearly extinct victims of this outrage—'the simplest people of the world,'" (Par. 3) he is able to provide the reader with historical knowledge without directly taking a stance on the underlying divisive issue of the moral qualities and actions of Columbus. This extremely objective tone pervades the rest of the essay, and ultimately makes any moral judgement difficult to discern which would detract from the focus of the Bergreen's ultimate

Chapter Three is based on Governor’s Alonso De Leon’s 1690 expedition. This chapter is a continuation of what chapter one and two talk about. In chapter three we are able to track the route of the 1690 expedition route through Alonso De Leon’s diary.

1. What was the view of Las Casas in relation to Spanish treatment of the indigenous people of the Indies?

James Moore led the Carolinas to attack Spain’s Creek Indian allies, and in the process they destroyed one of the most well known settlements St. Augustine. The Carolinas’ colonists also destroyed some of Spain’s missions, all the while killing and enslaving Native Americans in 1704. From the time 1705 to 1739 Florida had many African Americans. They also grew oranges, this plant now know vastly for being from Florida was actually brought here by Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century, there for it is not native to

After Oakes departure there was almost no hope of attaining their goals anymore. Even if negotiations could be set up, there was no longer a centralized Indian leadership with whom to negotiate. The government decided to hurry along the stalemate by shutting off all electrical power to the island and removing the barge which supplied water to the occupiers (Eagle). Three days after the removal of the barge a fire broke out on the east side of the island gutting and destroying many historic buildings (Eagle). The government blamed the increasingly out of control occupiers. Many occupiers however claim that a passing boat had fired a flare onto the island. The cause of the fire remains a mystery but it did however succeed in swaying public opinion away from the occupiers and towards a speedy resolution to the problem (Eagle). People were becoming increasingly upset with the stalemate and the burning of the island and damage to the island's lighthouse (a SF icon) was just fuel to the fire. Soon reports of power struggles, assaults and beatings on the island began to circulate

The Rock of Gibraltar towers over the land. Gibraltar has served both as a sacred sacrificial site to a towering fortress, and has shown up time and time again in European history. Due to its strategic location, Gibraltar has been involved in many wars from the Spanish Succession to World War II. The rock lies at the neck of the Strait of Gibraltar, the last point before Mediterranean joins the Atlantic. Here, five million years ago, the Atlantic waters breached the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean was created. The history of Gibraltar, like so much in 1700s Europe, is part of the tug-of-war between the English and Spanish. To this day, Gibraltar remains a contested country between these two nations.

When the Spanish realized that the climate of Aruba was too arid for cultivation and there was little evidence of the gold they were seeking, they essentially abandoned it to the native Caiquetios for approximately 150 years, and devoted their attention to their more lucrative possessions. Some natives were brought to Spain’s other islands, such as Hispaniola, to work as slaves, while others were converted to Christianity. Before long, however, the island became a concealed hide-away for pirates and buccaneers who preyed on ships transporting New World goods back to Europe. At Bushiribana on the northeast coast, the ruins of an old pirate castle remain today.

First off, they Malagan people are tremendously peaceful. Within the society, there is barely any crime. Law enforcement is provided my Madagascar, and they rarely have to do work. If the Malagan’s were to be introduced to a weaker society, they would immediately attempt to form an alliance. The Malagan’s would not try to assimilate the society, or get rid of them through genocide. They do not seek to conquer. Instead, the Malagan’s would offer their help. If the other society seems to have a struggling way of life, the Malagan’s might donate extra harvest or teach the people new ways to make a living, but only if they are prompted. The Malagan’s would only assimilate the other society if they were asked. Many cultures do not want to change

In his book, William Golding described the island as “uninhabited” because it has “no village smoke, and no boats” (29-30). Then some of his characters, Ralph, Jack, and Simon, encountered a pig on the way back to their platform after they figured out “truth” of the island (30). However, his setting looks like a little bit strange since he made pigs appear as wild animals.

Once upon a time, by an ocean, there was a little island. The island wasn’t big but wasn’t small either. If you look from the sky, you can see that the island was in two section. One is the land area and the other was covered by trees. On the island was a village with the population of around 500 people. These people have been around here for generations. The ancestors of these villagers were once a part of the population. But during a sail into the oceans, the boat crashed. The people on the boat landed on this island. After a few days of trying to get some help, their hope was crushed. So they decided to settle down on this island. Fortunately, the island was rich in natural resources and they found a way to survive. They dwelled on this island relying on the resources to island provided and the fish they caught in the oceans. But some people never forgot their real home, the place they once lived in. So the few built a ship, the ship wasn’t enough to carry all the people. Only a small portion of the people on the island could be on the boat. So they decided to let the strong mens take the boat, since the elders and young wasn’t really suitable for such long of a sea journey. Leaving the island the people waved and hoping that they would find their homes and send people back to take them. They all stared as the boat went away, their eyes filled with hope. But the people never came back...

We would like to lengthen our profound gratitude to Mr. Noberto Montecino for the chance he has given to us in conducting this study on the history of Brgy. Banga, Bayawan City. This effort would not have been possible without his reinforcement and reassurances of making this research a successful one.

Fray Pedro de Santo Tomas, a Dominical missionary, tried to convince the rebels to avoid an uprising against the abusive Spanish officials. The rebels led by Gabriel Dayag and Felix Cutabay refused to heed the priest’s words of peace. However, they allowed the friars to leave unmolested, with all their ornaments and jewels of the churches.
