De Las Casas text demonstrates that when the moral and religious condemnations of Spanish cruelty towards indigenous people are about cultural encounters and frontiers, he explains that the Spaniards, “Spaniards made a rule among themselves that for every Christian slain by the Indians, they would slay a hundred Indians.” The Spaniards wanted to make sure that they were able to send a message to the indigenous people that if they kept fighting back, they would kill them if they kept killing the Spaniards who fought against them. They wanted to make sure that they would also be getting rid of a lot of indigenous people who lived in their colony, except for the ones that they used as slaves, so they would have fewer people like them.
