Nevertheless not all Spaniards expressed the want and need to keep Indians as slaves, Bartolome de Las Casas being one of the exceptions. He believed that they should be taught the Catholic faith and believed they were ready to be taught. However this still took away from the Indians lives, no longer could they fully return to their way of life and how they choose to live it. Several thousands of Indians had dead from the encounter of the Spaniards and few gained from encountering the explorers. Some Indians ended up marrying Spaniards and did not lose their livelihood. However, overall the Indians were much better off before meeting the Spaniards. They lived peacefully without worry of enslavement, torment or unfair demands; they belonged to the morals that they grew up with. Once the Spanish came they lost much that they had gained in the years that they lived before the invasion including homes, supplies and, most importantly, they will to live and their lives.
