Inhaltsangabe

The sixteenth century witnessed the greatest globalist expansion the world had ever seen.

Bartolomé de Las Casas set sail from his beloved Spain as a teen adventurer and colonist, participated in the conquest of Cuba, and became a successful businessman on Columbus’s Island of Hispaniola. Witnessing atrocities against the indigenous people that turned his stomach and heart, he decided to give away his fortune and stand before kings, prelates, and the pope on behalf of the Indians.

Becoming an enemy of the empire through his advocacy and the target of intrigue and legendary machinations orchestrated against him, Las Casas soldiered on, bolstered by his faith in the universal rights of man—ultimately influencing Emperor Charles V to create laws that ended indigenous slavery.

Bartolomé: Las Casas in the New World follows the exploits, trials, and victories of an individual who stood between the Spanish encounter in the New World and the native populations and changed the course of history.
