After reading the short text called “A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies‚” by Bartolomé de Las Casas‚ I was surprised at the brutality and coldheartedness of the Spaniards towards the Indian natives. I knew that they did some horrible things from previous history classes and what not‚ but actually reading about some of the specific things they did was a bit hard to take in.

I believe he honestly wanted to
