However Columbus’ thoughts draw a contrast between how Bartolome De Las Casas felt about the Indians. Columbus viewed them as very nice people. De Las Casas and the Christians feel he can mistake their kindness for weakness and easily manipulate them into doing anything he want them to do. Shockingly in the new world are these same problems.
