2. Religious: Conversion, converting Native Americans to the Catholic faith.

silver mine indians/slaven
Discovery of huge reserves of silver in Mexico and in the Andes.

De Las Casas
Bartolomé de Las Casas (1484-1566)
priest

He was very critical of the treatment of the Native Americans
- 'Indians are worth as much as Europeans'
- 'exploitation / abuse is bad'
        'Blacks' are not seen as people so they become the new                slaves...

Indians and black slaves
In 1543, the Spanish king banned Indian slavery.
