we talked about this before
I frankly don't even care that they enslaved the women. Conquerors do that shit. But the kids.
the point i'm trying to make is if he was any worse than the other people around back then
That is a wilfull act of evil that no culture would accept, not even back then.
is that so?
It was criminal to rape children, yes.
You would be executed in Spain.
So they clearly did not see it as an acceptable spoil of war. The older girls were probably fine to do whatever with, they were property. But the people sent missionaries to convert the savages. You do not do that if you think they're literally just animals
ok
So there was also clearly a line to be drawn. If you can cohvert someone, then killing them is also murder. And raping them is also adultery. Just by a religious arguement alone.
true
I think much of what he did would have been acceptable. But he did shit way beyond the pale for an honorable person to do.
Rape was undoubtedly extremely common back then, but was kept quiet because it was disgraceful.
Colombus was disgraceful, therefore, not just because he did those things, but also because of the sheer SCALE at which he did them. The Pope did not give pardon to all sins like the crusaders. The people would have wanted him lynched if they found out and had any actual power. Superstition is a hell of a thing, don't want your city destroyed because a sodomizer of thousands walks through.
Missionaries didnt come until around his 3rd expedition. People who were not converted were seen as animals and lessers. Between his 3rd expidetion and his 4th his crimes were being counted due to now he was a governor, and the locals were being converted and deamed spanish citizens. He soon after (soon being relative as things happened back then) was stripped of titles, land, and prestige as punishment.
His first expidition he actually didnt commit any notable crimes of the time, as he actually did believe he was in the east indies, and wasnt completely sure if that was unclaimed territory yet. By the second he knew for sure and started the atrocities (many of which were not even crimes back then for before stated reasons as well as time frame.)
so which age was the line of rape in spain?
cock and balls
It was Romans that did that
Not a surprise tho, we've literally found cave paintings from the dawn of humanity of dicks
We found carvings of ancient "X was here," grafiti, so.
the Vikings did love to do that to.
LOL
