Columbus wrote in his diary that the people he met would make good slaves. Right off he considered himself superior to the Native Americans he encountered. He saw them as heathen and the Europeans after him felt the same way. It was an attitude that came with the invaders.
Of course! The Native Americans were friendly when they met Columbus and the Spanish explorers because they thought Columbus and his explorers to be honorable people. Columbus portrayed himself in this way. He was very kind and polite to the Native Americans and made sure to treat them with respect. The Native Americans, after all, had never seen Europeans before, and although they were a bit taken aback, they admired them (of course, until they realized the Europeans only wanted their land and were only seeking to exploit them).
