Newbie

Newbie (1/14)

  1. May poetry submission. Little bit of historic background for understanding: Following the New Law in 1542 to abolish Indian Slavery and Ecomienda system in the New World had little impact and never achieved its goal. Bartolomé de Las Casa the leading advocate to the New Law, at this time was given the rank of Bishop issued a pastoral letter that "refused absolution to slave owners and encomenderos even on their death bed, unless all their slaves had been set free and their property restituted to them." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartolom%C3%A9_de_las_Casas
