>stupid larper thinks he's actually a conquistador, amazing
You were talking about pagans like pagans gave two fucks about you. At least i'm a Catholic from Spain.

>Also the natives were enslaved and put to work in mines, and it is very obvious from the people who live there now that an enslaved African population was also imported to Catholic South America.
That's false, slavery was prohibited. The evangelizing imprint of the presence of the Spanish in America prevented this institution. This concern for the dignity of the indigenous population did not exist in the later colonial era. Only in this framework could the inevitable abuses be denounced. In this line, the Ordinances for the treatment of the Indians or Laws of Burgos were issued in December 1512. The Indians had the status of free men. Later, in 1542, the so-called New Laws were promulgated, also on "the governance of the Indies and good treatment and conservation of the Indians", in which the encomiendas were abolished and indigenous slavery was abolished.

>What is your point exactly, that after Christianity became a state religion it was employed for based and redpilled violent imperial conquest?
What do you mean by "after", Spain have always been Catholic. And Hernan Cortes was a fervent Catholic who forced the indigenous people to convert as Isabella ordered.

>more, uh, civilized opponents
>Is it because they weren't stone age tribesmen like the conquered Aztecs and Incas, and too advanced to be reconquered?
