De Soto was a key factor in contributing to the development of a hostile relationship between many native American tribes and Europeans. Several areas that his expedition crossed became depopulated by disease caused by contact with his men. By the time later explorers reached the territory De Soto had explored the place they found was not the land that De Soto's men discovered in 1539. When other explorers reached the area 20 years later, they found abandoned villages that demonstrated the negative impact the Spaniards had on the native people who were destroyed by raids and disease.
