    Hola Primo! I've been building my family tree and the Martin/Serrano branch is also part of my lineage. My paternal ancestors were among the first Conquistadors in the new world. I'm proud to be a Martinez!

    Just one thing to mention. You are right, there is a dark part of the Spanish entrepreneurs in the World but if we compare them with the logic of that time with other colonial powers. There wasn't a policy from the Spanish to eliminates natives. I can tell you that Brits, Belgiums and other had in place policies for example to don't mix with natives and in the case of the future US even eliminate the natives. "Good indian is a dead indian". That is not coming from the Spaniards. For example I invite you to learn about the marriage of Beatriz Clara Coya, an Inca's princes in the 1500's.

    Very interesting and great explanation Rob. Something that catch my attention is the tern "Jenizaro". The Jenizaros were the name for the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish Empire clash with the Ottomans for the control of the commerce in the Mediterranean Sea. So, I'm wondering about the use of this term in NM. I'm a Peruvian who lives now in SW CO so I'm bringing my own version of Spanish to the area. Keep the good job!

    ¡Éso! One of my all time favorite aspects of our culture is our bilingual capability! I have tons of music from New Mexican artists past and present, singing in Spanish and English! Even though I am 65 years old and have experienced this all my life, it never fails to amaze me and make me swell up with pride! Now, before someone comes for me and tells me there are Mexican artists who are also bilingual, do your research first. You will not find anywhere near as many Mexican artists who sing in both Spanish and English, as New Mexican artists. I am not putting down Mexican artists in any way, shape or form. I am a huge fan! I am an extremely proud New Mexican!

    A quick note, the Spanish Catholics thought well enough to baptize and acknowledge the NAs. The English and Dutch simply exploited and slaughtered the NAs.

    La llegada de los españoles en Nuevo México ayudó a los indios pueblos a protegerlos contra los indios nómadas. Es un error pensar que los nativos eran uno o estaban unidos en amorosa hermandad. Los nativo-americanos y sus tribus se odiaban a muerte y se mataban entre ellos con gran crueldad. Es el error de siempre. Es manipulación histórica y política. Y se olvida. Los apaches exterminaban a tribus enteras. ¿Por que no se cuenta esto?. Sigue habiendo mucha mentira, mucho engaño y mucha manipulación. Mucha leyenda negra contra los hispanos, que es en definitiva de lo que se trata: de diluirlos y arrebatarles sus raíces y su cultura. Y eso no debería permitirse.

    I don't know if it is better to write this comment in English or Spanish. It is in English but the sources are in Spanish. After all, I'm from Colombia. I hope this contribute to eliminate some topics about the black legend. I like the video, but It is still commenting some mistakes about the black legend. It is true that, at the beginning the Spaniards conquistadors took slave and land from de indigenous people. But, it was only the land and slaves that they could take at the begging of the conquest. This wasn't the modus operandi of the Spanish empire. I think next affirmation is already too known, so I won't put any kind of source, but the majority of people in the conquest armies was indigenous people, this was not a proportion 60-40, the proportion was more close to 90-10. Some territories was conquest by Indigenous people with no Spaniard in the armies. With this establish it is ridiculous affirm that most of the land was taken by the crown. The crown actually recognized the indigenous land through “Cedulas reales”. And the proportion of land given to indigenous it was also the most land of the continent. www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-54552001002300009 According to the next document there was 70 Spaniards towns and 4000 indigenous town “En el siglo XVIII había aproximadamente 70 ciudades y villas de españoles y 4 000 pueblos de indios. En las ciudades y villas había ayuntamientos o cabildos, y en los pueblos de indios, el cabildo se llamaba la “república.” biblioweb.tic.unam.mx/diccionario/htm/articulos/sec_22.htm It was the republic, not the crown the institutions that tooks the land from the indigenous people bitacorasdebogota.blogspot.com/2006/12/el-fin-de-los-resguardos-indigenas.html www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0122-20662015000100004 It important to remark all of this because a lot of people talk about the encomiendas like institutions that prevailed almost the entire time of the empire, but this institutions star to be abolish by the “new laws o leyes nuevas”. It was not immediately abolished but start their declined in 1542. Also, the fact that the republic or the new counties that emerge from the Spanish empire took the land from the indigenous people make sense. Because this countries emerge with liberal ideologies, not from ideologies that the indigenous people known or support. And liberals also took the land of the Church and the Church protected the land of indigenous people. This didn’t mean there was no abuse, there it was, but there also was successful intends to prevent this abuse. The next source refers to a process when some conquistartors or their heirs claim indigenous land and the fight int the court that indigenous people made to recover their land. Their land, indigenous land, was recognized in this process. www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0185-25232015000100029 Now, I mentioned early that the ideology that drives the independence movement it was not ingenious ideology. But indigenous people opposed to the independence, like I said the XIX century was the century when the land was taken from the indigenous and therefore, it was during this period when the Spanish empire order was disintegrated. Only in this way it can be understand that right now our countries are so unequal in the property of the land. The next sources are about the opinion of the leaders of the independence movement about the popular opinion of people about the independence. Letter from Ignacio Allende to Miguel Hidalgo www.memoriapoliticademexico.org/Textos/1Independencia/1810-CA-H-T.html Se resolvió obrar encubriendo cuidadosamente nuestras miras, pues si el movimiento era francamente revolucionario, no sería secundado por la masa general del pueblo, y el alférez real don Pedro Septién robusteció sus opiniones diciendo que si se hacía inevitable la revolución, como los indígenas eran indiferentes al verbo libertad, era necesario hacerle creer que el levantamiento se lleva a cabo únicamente para favorecer al rey Fernando.
