Hola,
As the King of the Spanish people, it is with great interest that I follow the events unfolding in the New World. It is my desire to bring order and reason to this land and to the native peoples who inhabit it.
But my advisors are sharply divided about how we should treat the Aztec natives. Are they a people with rights like our own, or an inferior race better suited to servitude? While I do not wish death upon these people, it is not my intent to send the finest soldiers of Spain on a fool’s errand. I expect them to return with the bounty of gold and treasure promised by the Americas.
I would like you to learn about the case and read the opinions of Bartolomé de Las Casas and Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda. Who do you think makes the most convincing argument? How does this improve our ability to collect the riches of this land?
I look forward to reading your recommendation. The future of our activities in the Americas depends on it.
-King Charles V
