The Encounter

Esbeyda Del Rio

In 1492, a man named Christopher Columbus arrived at the Americas on a
land called Hispaniola
...
All the people who were involved in this big event called
The E ou te a e Ki g Fe di a d, Quee Isa ella, Ch istophe Colu us,
Colu us’ e o soldie s , Ba tolo e De Las Casas, the Tai os, a d the
System of Empire (who is not a person)

I believe
that King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella, and Bartolome De Las Casas are the
ones who are guilty for the deaths of many, many, many Taino Indians
...

According to the a ti le The people s

The uote is saying that the King and Queen allowed Columbus to go
on a voyage and take over the land he found and they (the King and Queen)
also allowed Columbus to colonize the land he found, make the lives of the
indigenous people miserable, and use military force in order to be able to
control the people (which in this case are the Tainos)

The second person that I blame for mistreating the Tainos is Christopher
Colu us

This quote is saying that Columbus gave
no sympathy for the Tainos, did ’t a e hat happe ed to the , used dogs
and other weapons to kill them, and only wanted their gold

The third person that I say is i The E ou te is Ba tolo e De Las Casas
for not helping the Tainos

The quote is saying is that Bartolome worked with other people
and sent soldiers charged with weapons to the mountains where Tainos
lived to brutally mistreat them and threaten them
...

As I’ e said efo e, Ki g Fe di a d, Quee Isa ella, Ch istopher Columbus,
and Bartolome De Las Casas are responsible for what happened to Taino

Columbus is the one who led the lives of Tainos to death
and destruction
