He raises Spaniards on a petastol and calls the natives barbarians and savages. He uses words like uncivil to further dehumanize them.

Prior to the Spanish arrival in the New World, indigenous people lived in populous, advanced cities with their own system of government, customs, and faith. Their creation of these cities and societies further contextualizes their reception of Catholicism. According to De Las Casas, all the indigenous folks need is the extra push from Catholicism to excel as a civilization because they already had their own established empires prior to Spanish interaction. ]]> 2023-08-21 21:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949169 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949170 Bartolome de Las Casas was a man who regarded the Indians as equal. He instantly destroys Sepulvenda, who's entire argument was nothing but insults, by showing that Indians have society. He goes on to critize methods of colonization and detestable actions perpetrated by the Spanish. Bartolome's arguements might stem from his religous belif's as he believes violence is not an acceptable way for a Christian to act. This is further displayed by his disire to spread Christianity to the Indians. ]]> 2023-08-21 21:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949170 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949199 According to Sepulveda, the barbaric native Americans are in dire need of civilization (through the form of colonization). The indigenous population do not have written laws, follow a different (false) God, and are constantly at odds and warring with one another. This is evidence that their society is not structured, organized, or properly managed as Spanish kingdoms. In Social Darwinist fashion, if the aboriginal population is to survive, it must be introduced to the governance and Catholic faith of Spain. ]]> 2023-08-21 21:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949199 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949935 Sepulveda's view about natives is that they are vile and barbarians compared similarly to monkeys and bears rather than humans. He speaks of Spaniards as if they are gods and views them to be far superior as they have a far more developed society with a hierarchy and cities, comparing the two difference lifestyles. Sepulveda spares no mercy into insulting them to be lower than humans and nowhere near equal as one, with also no laws or developments in their societies.]]> 2023-08-21 21:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667949935 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667951657 Sepulveda commentates on the Indians and their culture in a severely negative light. He refers to the Indians as barbarians, slandering them to support his opinions and showing Indians as less than human. He also talks about how great the Spaniards are with their achievements and ideas, drilling the Indians' reputation down even further. This sentiment was most likely shared with a lot of Europeans to justify the pillaging of America and the so-called "spread" of their religion.]]> 2023-08-21 21:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667951657 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667951867 Las Casas speaks of natives as humans and treats them with respect like an ordinary individual. He speaks that they have their own societies with intelligence and their lifestyles include different laws and customs, but that doesn't mean natives are stupid or barbarians. He believes that acting out with violence on natives is no way to act as Christians, also proving how he wants to spread Christianity over to them. He thinks that the ways the Spanish react to the natives is unacceptable, criticizing them and stands by his point that natives are humans as well and have their own personalities and lifestyles that are simply just different.]]> 2023-08-21 21:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667951867 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667952407 Juan Gines Supulveda had a generally poor reception of the natives, having the belief that they are barbaric and inferior compared to the Spanish. He criticizes the natives through some of his perceptions of the natives having a monstrous desire for violence, as well as a lack of an central organized government. The perceptions of Supulveda were conveyed throughout the Americas as they were being colonized, leading to the Europeans enforcing the natives to perform labor for them as a form of profit, such as on sugar plantations. Supulveda also might have likely dehumanized the natives in order to justify actions against them, such as genocide or the labor systems as mentioned.]]> 2023-08-21 22:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667952407 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667952754 Bartolome de Las Casas opposed the beliefs of barbarism upon the natives created by the Europeans. He defends the natives through his missionary visions, upholding his views that they are meant to be protected under the religion of Christianity. He also seems to make a clear statement about his desire to spread the faiths of Christianity upon the natives, using his religious motives as a way to protect the natives from belittlement. Religious views held by missionaries such as Las Casas had led to the formation of many missions and churches in the colonies of the Americas, converting many of the indigenous populations to Christianity, as well as washing away much of the previous cultures and beliefs of the natives as well, or otherwise forming syncretic religions such as the worship towards Our Lady of Guadalupe.

He claims that they are less civilized and barbaric as they do not have any written laws, personal property, or civic freedom.

Sepulveda claims that there is no trace of humanity within the Native Indians as they have no laws, are not literate, and no learning at all. Furthermore, Sepulveda calls out the Native Indians for their practices of human sacrifice as having no virtue whatsoever. Sepulveda legitimizes the right to conquer the Americas by displaying how uncivilized the Native Indians are in order to take their land to "civilize" the native people with the Spanish styles of governance.

De Las Casas also uses the Spaniards ideas of religion against them by arguing the natives should be accepted into their religion because they are also human beings, capable of learning as well as teaching just like the Spaniards. De Las Casas main argument, though, is that the natives are just as capable as Spaniards and Europeans in general, that their behaviors are more in common than they might think. ]]> 2023-08-21 22:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667955398 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667955811 Sepulvenda considers the indigenous people of the Americas as inferior to the Spanish.

He slanders a part of their culture through saying that their artisanship shows no proof of human intelligence, which also takes away the natives' humanity. As he refers to natives as barbarians throughout, he pushes forth the idea that they are violent and must be "civilized" by the Spanish. Sepulveda also believes that due to the way the natives' government is set up, they are naturally born to slavery, which further dehumanizes the natives by suggesting that they are born only for slavery. Through dehumanizing the natives by slandering their culture and government, Sepulveda creates justifications for the Spanish to colonize them and "civilize" them.]]> 2023-08-21 22:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667956628 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667956726 Bartolome thinks Indians as humans, who do not deserve the plunder of spaniards. He sees them as highly adaptive people, who besides from what Sepluvda has ever said or slandered are very developed with their own laws, cultures, and custom. He tells everyone that the Indians do not need to be forced into Christianity, but instead taught it, and the barbaric actions of the invading spaniards would make them hypocrites.

He contrasts Sepulveda's claims with evidence of civilization in the indigenous people that Sepulveda neglected to speak about and the establishments that they themselves created with no knowledge whatsoever about the Spaniards. Las Casas uses Christian ideas and beliefs to further humanize the natives in that they are our brothers in Christ. Las Casas defends the natives in a way that humanizes them and this directly opposed the stigma that many Europeans placed on the Native Americans.]]> 2023-08-21 22:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667956857 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667957205 Sepluvda sees indians as inferior, barbaric, cowardly, and the Spanish deserve to rule over them. He describes the indians as underdeveloped, war hungry flesh eating, God denying people, who run at first sight of Sepluvdas soldiers, and inferior compared to the spaniards. He sees the spaniards as these saviors, talentless gentle heroes, keeping even their enemies safe. Sepluvda is bound to persuade Emporer Charles with his slander because he is a student of Artistotle, and this will likely lead to a justified genocide of the Indians as well as Christianity being forced upon their culture. ]]> 2023-08-21 22:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667957205 25elee2 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667957372 De Las Casas speaks out against the barbaric treatment that Spaniards have imposed upon Indigenous Americans. He claims that they are not stupid nor barbaric--they have created organized governments and created close-knit communities with distinct cultures. De Las Casas views the Americas as not a place to conquer, but rather spread the gospel of Catholicism; he claims that the natives were meek and kind-hearted people who would readily accept Christ. He treats these natives delicately, acknowledging their civilizations as legitimate as Spain's, finding merely spreading Catholicism as the only necessary action that should be taken. ]]> 2023-08-21 22:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667957372 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667957434 Heavily influenced by his pride for his own Spaniard culture, Sepulveda belittles the indigenous peoples, claiming that they are barbaric cowards with little to no knowledge. On the other hand, he greatly praises his own Spanish people for being blessed, benevolent, and civilized. His slander of the Indigenous people and their culture are being judged by basing it on whether they have what the Spanish have: religion (specifically Christianity), education, literacy, fine arts, and government/laws.

He comments that the laws of the Native Indians are far superior to those of the Spanish and that the Native Indians are sophisticated in liberal arts and do not deserve persecution by any means because they are capable of achieving anything that a "civilized" society has. Bartolome believes that the Native Indians are equal to the Spanish and only require Christianity to perfect their civilization and the Native Indian's civilization is just as legitimate. ]]> 2023-08-21 22:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2667958715 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668004078 De Las Casas' view on natives opposes Sepulveda's beliefs of natives being barbaric and he sees their humanity.  Unlike Sepulveda, de Las Casas, having sailed to the Americas and met natives, is able to see their humanity and how they have their own culture and government.  Despite their differing cultures, de Las Casas acknowledges how the natives have accomplished everything and more that a "civilized" society such as his own Spanish one could. Sepulveda seems to find the natives' culture and government to be an obstacle that can only be avoided through "civilization", while de Las Casas makes it clear he sees both of these things as being well developed and evidence of the natives' intelligence.  Because of this, he sees a population of highly intelligent people who would be willing to learn about a different religion (Catholicism) and practice it, showing how his views oppose Sepulveda's and how he sees the natives as "civilized" and their humanity.]]> 2023-08-21 23:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668004078 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668018690 Sepluvda constantly talks of the greatness of the Spanish and constantly speaks of how the Natives are barbarians speaking of how they´re cannibals, how though they may have a civilization its inability to compare to the Spanish Civilization and in the end stating how they should enslave them. His counterpart Las Casas while agreeing the Natives are Barbarians and that they are superior sees potential in the Natives and believes that they can be equals to the Spanish constantly talking of how their civilization is similar to theirs and how it has thrived long before coming into contact with them and how instead of enslaving them they should teach them and convert the people to Christianity and help them learn the ways of the Spanish people.]]> 2023-08-22 00:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668018690 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668129966 Meanwhile, Las Casas acts as an advocate for the Indigenous peoples; believing that they are just like the Spanish and can rule themselves, except that they are still meek and innocent and just need a little push of faith in God and Catholicism. He disapproves of the Spaniards' oppression of the Indigenous peoples and thinks that that is sinful and isn't the right approach to bring faith and civility to others. Rather than just illiterate barbarians, the Indigenous peoples can learn freely without any force, as they are able to assimilate and are ready to accept/obtain the gospel, like a blank slate. He thinks that there should be Christian rule, as he believes it is the right rule and is justified for the sole reason of spreading their faith; making the oppression of natives, in his point of view, useless and even more barbaric than the Indigenous peoples.

Throughout the passage he would go on rants of how disconnected the indigenous people are compared to the Spaniard’s. It states, "Compare, then, these gifts of prudence, talent, magnanimity, temperance, humanity, and religion with those possessed by these half-men, in whom you will barely find the vestiges of humanity” (E. Hafeli). With Sepulveda saying these comments he would then compare the two, which would highlight the Spaniards to be some superior ethnicity while making the indigenous people look inferior and barabic.

De las Cases thought that the Indigenous people were intelligent and not barbaric. De las Cases states, “They are not ignorant, inhuman, or bestial, [r]ather, long before they had heard the word Spaniard they had properly organized states, wisely ordered by excellent laws, religion, and custom” (E.

He uses this opinion as reasoning to take control and enforce Christianity onto native populations. Sepulveda is able to recognize their grand civilizations but criticizes their forms of housing, monumentalizing, government, religion, and social hierarchy. According to Sepulveda, since these indigenous people acted as 'slaves' to their rulers, it was ethical to control their populations, as they were used to behaving this way. Another justification he used followed the ideology of social darwinism, and he believed the natives were an inferior, uncivilized race. ]]> 2023-08-22 03:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668246240 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668273893 Juan Gines de Supulveda has a negative perception of Indians.

He criticizes Indians by stating how they have a weak government and continues by calling them monstrous for having human sacrifices.

But rather, Bartolome claims that the Native Americans are intelligent and capable human beings as they have built and created organized governments; close and loyal communities with their own culture to each community. Bartolome sees no real need to conquer and colonize the Native Americans, as they have already built a civilization that could rival Spain. But Rather, to spread the good faith of Catholicism and have the Native American rectify their sins. ]]> 2023-08-22 05:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668392404 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668392662 Bartolome de las Casas and Juan Guines de Sepulveda had different views of the whites.

Sepulveda argues that the indigenous people lacked reason and therefore could not govern themselves. The Spaniards were to subjugate them into being civilized and into the light of Christianity. Sepulveda’s views on indigenous people were complex, reflecting both a sense of appreciation for the indigenous people’s unique cultures and traditions and a belief in the superiority of the Spanish colonization and its need to bring Christianity into the Western world.]]> 2023-08-22 05:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668394690 25ahoang4 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668395026 Bartolome de Las Cases embraced a positive stance on Native Americans, He believed they were open to Christianity and had organized societies.

The reason for doing this is to make Europeans feel better and agree with him, which helped them colonize and spread their beliefs in America. Sepulveda believe conquering Native Americans were acceptable because he thought that they weren't civilized. He argued they lacked proper laws and town freedom. He aimed to present Native Americans as uncivilized allowing Europeans to bring back civilization.]]> 2023-08-22 06:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668403357 https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668406031 Bartolome de Las Casas believed that the indigenous people were not primitive nor inferior to the Spanish.

Because Native American society lacked a central, constitutional government, Sepulveda attacks this by stating this is an indicator of their low intelligence and their illiteracy.
This barbarism, Sepulveda claims, would be helped through colonization which would expose native Americans to the Spaniards' way of life and how their society was organized. ]]> 2023-08-22 11:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/EHafeli/t59rm0koz4chqwcl/wish/2668702185
