Silver Mining In 16th To 18th Century South America: Impact Upon Spanish Colonist And Native Populations
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. South America's silver mining from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries paved the way for future economic, political and social progress for Spanish Colonists. While the discovery of this precious metal prompted such adventurers as Juan de Ońate, New Mexico's first governor, it also set a precedent with regard to the extent of South America's extended reach into new and previously uncharted territory. Ońate began these lengthy journeys in 1598 with a party of one hundred fifty men, several servants and additional family. Their five-month expedition led them from Rio Conchos to the Pueblo of San Juan and beyond; however, they could never have made this journey with any success had it not been for the Native American scouts who provided guidance over unfamiliar terrain. The manner by which Spanish colonists ultimately violated and betrayed the native peoples, however, most likely made them sorry for ever offering their assistance. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
