What Was Popes Rebellion In 1680?

Simplified Background:

The Pope's Rebellion took place in the late 17th century in what was at the time, the Spanish Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, California...). The Spanish, continuing to search for precious metals to send back to Spain, used/enslaved the native peoples (in this case, the Pueblos in today's New Mexico area).

This cruel treatment was legitimized by a system called encomienda which said that it was okay for colonists or conquistadores to enslave the natives for use of physical labor if there was an attempt to convert them to Christianity.

The Pope's Rebellion:

The Pope's Rebellion was a revolt staged by the Pueblo Indians in 1680 against the Spaniards who were enslaving them to dig in mines for gold and silver.

But, as the name of the rebellion suggests, the Pueblos were not just fighting for their physical freedom. They fought against the imposition of religion--Catholicism--that was being forced on them. They rebelled in order to retain their own unique religion and culture, lest it be forgotten and wiped out forever.

Correction

Pope does not refer to the Holy Father. It refers to the name of the man who organized the revolt - Pope' (pronounced poPAY) who was a Pueblo Indian

What resulted to the popes rebellion in New Mexico?

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680, also known as Popé's Rebellion, was primarily a response to the oppressive colonial rule imposed by the Spanish in New Mexico, which included forced labor, the suppression of indigenous religious practices, and the introduction of European diseases. Popé, a Tewa religious leader, united various Pueblo tribes to resist Spanish control, leading to a coordinated uprising that successfully expelled the Spanish for over a decade. The revolt was fueled by a desire to restore traditional Pueblo culture and autonomy, highlighting the deep-seated resentment against colonial authority.
