Bernie has a conversation with Andrew to discuss what actually happened from 1498 to 1502 and how the actions of Spain’s Queen Isabel, the Taíno Indian Chieftain Anacaona, and Columbus shaped events. This is the least studied period of Columbus’s voyages and one of the most brutal phases of Americas’ conquest history, presaging and influencing centuries of oppression and conflict thereafter.
