  2. Is greed ever an appealing characteristic?

  3. Pizarro and de Las Casas Francisco Pizarro Bartolome de Las Casas Sailed with Christopher Columbus to the New World and was given land and slaves. Renounced his riches and freed his slaves after witnessing the brutality. Sent letters to the King Charles V of Spain urging him to set up laws protecting the natives. • Was neglected as a child and grew up without an education, learning to read/write later in life • Heard of the gold and silver that Cortez took from the Aztecs and wanted the same for himself • Conquered the Incan Empire in 1533 after tricking and murdering their king.

  4. Pizarro/de Las Casas • What was each historical figure’s role/achievements in this time period? • Were Pizarro and de Las Casas heroes or villains?
