Juan Gines de Sepulveda
Concerning the Just Cause of the War Against the Indians (1547)
“Those whose condition is such that their function is the use of their bodies and nothing better can be expected of them, those, I say, are slaves of nature. It is better for them to be ruled thus.”
Bartoleme de las Casas
The New Laws (1542)
A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1552)
“The Indians are our brothers, and Christ has given his life for them. Why, then, do we persecute them with such inhuman savagery?... They will embrace the teaching of the Gospel, as well I know, for they are not stupid or barbarous but have a native sincerity and are simple, moderate, and meek.... Once they have embraced it, it is marvelous with what piety, eagerness, faith, and charity they obey Christ's precepts and venerate the sacraments. For they are docile and clever, and in their diligence and gifts of nature, they excel most peoples of the known world.”
