Bartolome de las Casas was initially motivated to explore and colonize the Americas by the promise of wealth and opportunities for advancement. However, after witnessing the mistreatment and abuse of the indigenous populations by the Spanish conquistadors, he became a fierce advocate for their rights and well-being, eventually renouncing his previous actions and dedicating his life to defending indigenous peoples.
Both Columbus and Las Casas wrote detailed log entries about their experiences during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. They both documented encounters with indigenous peoples and described the landscapes they encountered. However, Columbus tended to focus more on the potential for wealth and conquest, while Las Casas was more critical of the treatment of indigenous peoples and advocated for their rights.
Both Cabeza de Vaca and Las Casas were Spanish explorers who advocated for better treatment of indigenous peoples in the Americas. They both wrote extensively about the injustices they witnessed and sought to improve the conditions for native populations.

Fray Bartolome de Las Casas sailed with Columbus on Columbus's third voyage, 1498-1500. Las Casas had probably met Columbus before the famous 1492 voyage because Las Casas's father sailed with Columbus to the New World (Las Casas would have been about nine years old in 1492). During his own voyage with the captain, Las Casas saw both Columbus the explorer and Columbus the governor. Las Casas had high praise for Columbus the explorer because of the sailor's efforts to bring Christianity to the Native Americans. For Columbus the governor, however, Las Casas had a much different view. Las Casas was shocked by the atrocities against the Indians which were allowed by Columbus.
