How Did Bartolome De Las Casas Wrote To Try And Free The Indians?

437 Words2 Pages

In my personal opinion, I think that Bartolome de las Casas wrote to try and free the Indian slaves owned by Spain. Equality never comes easy but it is certainly rewarding in the end. With that said, Las Casas decided to fight for many years trying to generate equality for the Indians. Bartolome made significant changes throughout his life, for the better. Therefore, he was known as the “Apostle of the Indians”.

    In the readings of Martha Menchaca it is similar and an in-depth history we have learned thus far in lecture. When we talked about the entradas we discussed some of the conquistadores and explorers that went through Mexico and parts now known to be the United States like Cabeza de Vaca, and Juan de Onate. Menchaca mentions these in her text as well, when she gives a short summary of Cabeza de Vaca which’s journey was a beginning to many other explorers to follow. Which is an important mark because this goes along with her narrative of these people’s actions, she is not defending them nor denying them acknowledge that they took part of our history not like other’s that fail to mention this part of history.

  • Summary Of Buddy Levy's 'Conquistador'

    1181 Words  | 5 Pages

    Conquistador, written by Buddy Levy about the famous ventures of Hernan Cortes, places the reader in the 16th century, or the era c.1450-c. 1750 ce. During this time, the idea of exploration was spreading quickly, as kingdoms and empires in Europe sought to expand their territory. Portugal, with Spain following after, led the way for exploration as they headed south. Spain, however, ventured west, driven by a patriotic attitude of expanding past their borders. Levy tells the story of Hernan Cortes, originally setting sail from Spain, as he sailed from Cuba to the shores of Mexico in 1519, eager about the discovery of new lands.

    The Indians, regardless of what part of the Christianity explanation they believed, thought the medicine men were powerful enough to protect them and keep them around. This greatly benefitted de Vaca and the castaways who had no one and nowhere to protect them besides these Indians. Cabeza de Vaca spent the rest of his life campaigning for a peaceful colonization and integration, as he believed that he understood how to make a peaceful alliance. This is one of the few encounters where the explorer was striving for a mutually beneficial relationship. While he set up

  • Indians Ethos Pathos Logos

    560 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “Juan Gines de Sepulveda Belittles the Indians” (1547), the author uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos and logos to prove to the Spanish that the Indians of the New World should accept and embrace Spanish rule. The most prominent rhetorical appeal used by the author is logos, it is present even in the first sentences of the passage. Sepulveda does not waste any time getting to his point, and begins with the statement, “The Spanish have a perfect right to rule those barbarians of the New World and the adjacent islands, who...are as inferior to the Spanish as children to adults,” (3). Immediately, logos is being used by using the analogy of the natives as children and the Spanish as adults. Obviously, everyone knows that adults are superior to children, and by using this analogy Sepulveda points out that the natives are as naive as children, and need the guidance

  • Petalesharo's Speech Of The Pawnee Chief

    170 Words  | 1 Pages

    Petalesharo’s writing reflected the treatment of Native Americans during the 1800s. Being a Native American himself, Petalesharo was able to give perspective on a point in history typically viewed from a white man’s opinion. The excerpt “Petalesharo” explains how the Native American was able “to prevent young women captured by other tribes from being sacrificed”, making Petalesharo well liked by the Americans (588). Petalesharo gave the “Speech of the Pawnee Chief” infront of Americans to convey the differences between Native Americans and Americans through emotion, logic, and credibility, which showed how the two groups will never be the same, but still can coexist in the world together.

  • Summary Of The Conquest By Bernal Diaz Del Castillo

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    This type of book was worked in an epic style about the main events of the Conquest, from its beginning until the fall of Tenochtitlan, and other happenings that followed in this conquest. One of the criticisms that Bernal Diaz del Castillo has by my point of view is that he never learned to speak indigenous languages and yet is able to describe whole dialogs indigenous from the first day he stepped on the continent. Some of the chapter, he mentioned “Well, I will not continue describing this.” For that reason, many people describe the author as a simple to writer. So, I imagine him that this book was wrote while he was talking about what he saw in the conquest and he was writing while he was thinking about that.

    Moreover, in 1537, another Spanish explorer known as Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, wrote a book titled La Relación, where he explained the obstacles him and his crew had to face during the Narvaez expedition in 1527 to the Spanish King, Charles I. In connection to all the men who sailed “from Cuba to Tampa Bay in present-day Florida” only “Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and three other men survived the expedition, but only after enduring a nine-year, six-hundred-mile trek across Texas and Mexico and enslavement by Indians…….” In my opinion, this letter gives the reader a much clearer understanding of the things that Cabeza de Vaca saw during his journey because he writes his letters using words like “my”, “I”, and “me” which makes it clear to us
