The most devastating disease brought on the Caribbean Indians by the Spanish was smallpox. Within a 100 years both the Tainos and the Arawaks were almost completely gone on Hispaniola and Jamaica and 50 years later they were gone completely. Some Caribes survived until the 1840's in St Lucia and one small remanent today survives on Dominica.

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.
