The figure of Fray Bartolome de las Casas has been among the historical figures who took part in the first generations of travelers to America, after his discovery-as one of the more objective, with respect to others whose cargo is rather totally adverse and why not say it funestas, prosky Francisco Pizarro, Diego de Almagro, Pedro de Valdivia, Hernan Cortes, among others.
