And Columbus's indefensible record regarding the enslavement of the indigenous people is compounded by the actions of those who followed Columbus. Later generations of native Costa Ricans were decimated by shipping them off to Peru to work in the mines and by diseases imported by the Europeans. <BR/><BR/>The priority the Spanish placed on gold and silver is part of the explanation that Costa Rica's first permanent settlements occurred on its Pacific coast. The people who established those settlements came up from Peru, not directly from Spain. That shows how much more developed the settlement of Peru was than Costa Rica at that time.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-51761126145263750902008-12-28T09:18:00.000-08:002008-12-28T09:18:00.000-08:00Very interesting as always.Very interesting as always.Jane Hards Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162628972166464736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-33816774373175828202008-12-28T04:41:00.000-08:002008-12-28T04:41:00.000-08:00I forgot to mention, that Columbus took a boatload...I forgot to mention, that Columbus took a boatload of slaves back to Europe from Costa Rica.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-75925906683827272142008-12-28T04:40:00.000-08:002008-12-28T04:40:00.000-08:00Money still causes people and whole countries to g...Money still causes people and whole countries to go nuts.
