2 feb 1512 anni - Hatuey was executed

Descrizione:

After finally capturing Hatuey, the Spanish tried to force him to convert to Christianity by giving him the choice of burning alive or getting baptised and then beheaded. He allegedly said that if becoming Christian meant spending eternity with the Spanish then he would rather get burned alive. So the Spanish burned him at the stake.


"They tell us, these tyrants, that they adore a God of peace and equality, and yet they usurp our land and make us their slaves. They speak to us of an immortal soul and of their eternal rewards and punishments, and yet they rob our belongings, seduce our women, violate our daughters. Incapable of matching us in valor, these cowards cover themselves with iron that our weapons cannot break"
