DefenseDefense King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella sponsored
Columbus’ trip, & supplied him with the tools toclaim new territory
When the Tainos refused to fight back againstColumbus’ actions, Columbus did not & couldnot see the harm he was doing
Columbus was merrily an exlplorer in a quest tofind a shorter route to the Indies, & did notintend to harm the Tainos
The system of Empire valued property overpeople, & the more a person owned, the moresecure they were
Columbus had to return to Spain with gold &Taino slaves to help prove the earth was round,otherwise, for many years later people wouldbelieve they would fall off the earth
King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella orderedColumbus to return to Hispaniola to find moregold + return home with more slaves. Theycould have easily rejected this thought
ProsecutionProsecution Columbus ordered his men to spread terror
among the Tainos by cutting off their hands+ sending dogs to hunt them down
Columbus invaded the Tainos’ land + theplace they called home
Columbus’ plan was to go to India for spiceswhile taking a shorter route, but he stillinvaded the Tainos’ land
Columbus started as an explorer, but later,became a conquer of the Tainos
Columbus refused to release the Tainos,even after they made it clear that theywished to leave
When Columbus arrived on Hispaniolawhen there were over 3 Million Tainos, butby 1592 only 200 remained
Columbus made the Tainos slaves, eventhough he had his own crew to do his grislydeeds.
