Well that explains why all Spanish colonies end up corrupt. They were all "corrupted" early on that colonization period.

That's like 3 levels of racist in 2 sentences. Are you a Trump supporter?

The primary Spanish sources are pretty explicit about their behaviour, other than the lies about the nature of the natives. They tended to keep meticulous records.
