Detailed explanation-1: -The Comanche maintained an ambiguous relationship with Europeans and later settlers attempting to colonize their territory. The Comanche were valued as trading partners since 1786 via the Comancheros of New Mexico, but were feared for their raids against settlers in Texas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spanish attitude toward the Indians was that they saw themselves as guardians of the Indians basic rights. The Spanish goal was for the peaceful submission of the Indians. The laws of Spain controlled the conduct of soldiers during wars, even when the tribes were hostile.
Detailed explanation-3: -What was one of the impacts of Spanish colonization on Native Americans? Tens of thousands of Native Americans died from disease, war, and forced labor.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Spanish conquistadors, who went to Hispaniola and then to other Caribbean islands and finally to the mainland, were rough and violent. They took what they wanted, and when the Indians resisted–or even when they did not–the conquistadors attacked and slaughtered them.
