Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Constitutional Laws for Cuba: Text of the Recent Measures for the Self-Government of the Island, With Comments Thereon In the history of nations Spain stands foremost as the discoverer, conquerer and colonizer of new lands. By the discovery of a new world, and the subjection of numberless tribes the Crown of Castile found itself toward the middle of the sixteenth century the undisputed possessor of such a vast domain as never before nor since came under the sway of a single nation. Whatever may be said of the men who, moved principally by the restless spirit of adventure which was the dominant characteristic of that period, discovered and conquered the New World, the paternal solicitude and care of the Crown and its Councilors for the welfare of the subjugated Indians were made evident by wise laws, which stand as a monument of early civilization in America. An eminent Cuban Autonomist, Senor Rafael M. Labra, for many years a Representative from Cuba in the Spanish Cortes, in his critical "History of Colonization," to which I shall have occasion to refer again, frankly admits that "by framing the famous Laws of the Indies, Spain justly laid claim to an enduring civilization, and to the foremost place among the great colonizing nations of modern times." English historians have never been willing to give Spain the credit due her for her early efforts in spreading Christianity and civilization among the savage tribes of the New World.
