Uhh? What about we don’t judge the guy by our current morality. I am cuban so i will admit i am super biased toward the guy since he is our founder. But can you out yourself in his shoes? What would a native american would have looked like to this guy? Even after that the spanish tried everything they could to convert and integrate these natives before they resorted to culling.

By the time they got to mexico it was a whole different story and unlike the Caribbean they found a whole functioning empire that was much more of an oppressor than the Spanish ever were.

Context matters.
