Описание:

Bartolome received an encomienda from the king of Spain, but as he began to witness the atrocities and the abuses of the Spaniards towards the native population through the encomienda system, he abandoned his econmienda to become a full time advocate for Native American Rights. He believed that the Spanish occupation of the new land was illegitimate and their forced labor system of the encomienda system to be illegal.
