In this assignment, please respond to the questions below

1. According to the accounts written by las Casas, what treatment do the natives receive from the Spanish? (What accounts for the Spanish treatment of the natives (in other words, what do you think is the reason/factor motivating the Spanish treatment of the natives?)?

3. Why do you think las Casas wrote these accounts? What do you think he was trying to achieve?
