De Las Casas

Bartolomé de Las Casas (1484-1566)
priester

Hij had grote kritiek op de behandeling van de indianen
- 'Indianen zijn evenveel waard als Europeanen'
- 'uitbuiting / mishandeling is slecht'

        'Zwarten' worden niet gezien als mensen dus zij worden de                   nieuwe slaven

Indianen en zwarte slaven

In 1543 verbood de Spaanse koning indianenslavernij.

De Spaanse kolonisten haalden zwarte slaven uit Afrika. 

Bleken veel sterker te zijn: zelden ziek. 

In de 17e eeuw meer vraag naar plantageproducten: 

Nederlanders, Fransen en Engelsen vestigden plantages in de West: Caraïbisch gebied.
