"Bobadilla had already been named governor of the Indies, replacing Columbus, at the time of the report."
Well, writing a report on someone whom one is replacing is a really juicy proposition. Since one would need to place one's own cronies everywhere and to push out the cronies of one's [to be] disgraced predecessor, the report has to be as damning and sweeping as possible.

regarding your post 6

defending white people (or anyone) of the past is useless.

the morals and standard practices are so different and so barbarous that this is a losing proposition.

Hitler was a white guy, the US southern slavers were white guys, Stalin, white guy, etc.

The past was a cruel and barborous time and the cruel and barborous of the time are not defensible in terms of today's morals.

Accept the fact that white people (or others) of the past are not saints and leave them dead and buried.
