The Spaniards treated the Tainos in Hispaniola harshly, subjecting them to forced labor, violence, and disease. Many were enslaved and abused, leading to a significant decline in the Taino population due to harsh treatment and exposure to new diseases brought by the Europeans.
The Tainos were a peaceful Arawak people who inhabited the Caribbean islands, focusing on agriculture and fishing. In contrast, the Kalinagos (also known as Caribs) were a more warlike indigenous group who dominated the Lesser Antilles and relied on hunting and gathering. The Kalinagos were known for their fierce resistance to European colonization, while the Tainos were more open to interaction.
The Tainos were forced to work on Spanish plantations in the Caribbean, primarily in agriculture such as growing crops like sugarcane, cassava, and tobacco. They were also made to work in mines and as laborers in construction projects for the Spanish colonizers.
The natives of Hispaniola initially welcomed the Spaniards because they were curious about these newcomers and saw them as potential allies. Additionally, the Spaniards brought new technologies, goods, and knowledge that were beneficial to the natives. However, as the Spaniards' exploitation and mistreatment of the natives became evident, relations deteriorated.
Many Spaniards came to Hispaniola in search of wealth, opportunities for land ownership, and to participate in the exploitation of resources like gold and sugar. The allure of economic prosperity and the chance to establish themselves in a new colony attracted many settlers to the island.
The Spaniards typically dressed in clothing made from materials such as wool, silk, and cotton. They wore layers of clothing, including doublets, breeches, and capes, along with wide-brimmed hats and leather shoes. The style of dress varied depending on social status and occasion.

why did the spaniards treat the Aztecs harshly
They are Indians (Tainos), White (Spaniards), and Black (Africans).
The Spaniards appeared to be nice to the Aztecs so they treated them nicely until Cortez betrayed the Aztecs.
Columbus was trying to get to India when he ran into North America. He thought that he had arrived in India, so he referred to the Native Americans as Indians. AND, we still refer to them as such.

Christopher Columbus treated the natives (Taino Indians) very poorly. Columbus killed many Taino people. He also ordered every Taino at the age 14 and older to find him gold. The poor Tainos looked, and looked but couldn't find enough gold. For not finding enough gold, Columbus punished the Tainos, and cut off their hands, and make them be slaves. Christopher Columbus was a very mean and scary person to the Taino Indians. The Tainos thought of Columbus as a villain coming to their land.
