Popé, a Tewa religious leader from Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan Pueblo), led the revolt of 1680 against Spanish colonial rule in New Mexico. The intent of the Pueblo Revolt was to expel Spanish settlers from Pueblo lands, to preserve the the Pueblo as a nation, and to preserve the Pueblo way of life.
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 succeeded, in driving the Spanish from New Mexico.
But, after Popé's death in 1688, the Spanish returned in 1692, but they no longer tried to wipe out the Pueblo language and religion

They didn't. The Pueblo people were already living in Pueblos when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. Some of these villages have been continuously occupied for 800 to 1000 years or more. The only changes the Spanish brought were that some villages were abandoned to gather together more and protect against the Spanish especially after the successful Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Also there were population losses caused by Spanish diseases, attacked and starvation due to the Spanish stealing food. 21 Pueblos still exist and people still live there.
Antonia de Otermin was a Spanish colonial official who served as the governor of the New Mexico territory in the late 17th century. He is known for his role in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, when the indigenous Pueblo people successfully drove the Spanish out of the region.
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.CorrectionPope 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
In 1680, St. Catherine's Island in Georgia was the site of a massacre of Spanish soldiers by English forces led by Governor James Moore. The attack was part of a larger conflict known as the Guale Uprising, where native Guale people rebelled against Spanish influence in the region. This event marked a significant episode in the history of colonial conflicts in the Southeastern United States.
The LCM is 1680.
