HISTORICAL DOCUMENT ANALYSIS
“I must confess that if I were to set down on paper each and every unforgivable violent crime
committed against God, the King and the innocent people of the province by the Spanish in Santa
Marta - every murder, every injustice, every atrocity, every attempt at genocide - they would make
a very lengthy chronicle indeed. But that will l be for the future, if the Lord spares me. All I can do
here is to quote a few words from a letter sent by the bishop of the province to His Majesty the
King.”
Bartolomé de Las Casas
