Sources Lorenzo Camusso: The Voyage of Columbus Bartolome de las Casas: History of the Indies Kirkpatrick Sale: The Conquest of Paradise

Some Columbus Quotes “His Christian faith gave to him a religious incentive to thwart the piratical activities of the Turkish marauders preying upon the trading ships of the Christian world.” Rep. Roland Libonati Proposing Congress declare Columbus Day A national holiday in 1963

“After we had rested several days in our settlement, it seemed to the Lord Admiral [Columbus] that it was time to put into execution his desire to search for gold, which was the main reason he had started on so great a voyage full of so many dangers.” Michele de Cuneo, Accompanying Columbus to Haiti in 1494

“Gold is most excellent; gold constitutes treasure; and he who has it does all he wants in the world, and can even lift souls up to paradise.” Christopher Columbus

The “Requirement” “I implore you to recognize the Church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the Church and to his majesty.

I will take your women and children and make them slaves…. The deaths and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me.” From 500 Years of Indigenous and Popular Resistance Campaign
