Conquistadors
For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

Was ponce de leon a president?
Yes. Juan Ponce de León (1474-1521) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador, who was the first appointed Spanish governor of the Puerto Rico colony (San Juan Bautista) in 1510, having led official expeditions to the island. Three years later, in 1513, he sailed to the North American coast, where he sighted and explored Florida, giving it its modern name. He at first thought it was another large island. After returning to Spain, he commanded an expedition to establish a permanent Florida colony in 1521, but was seriously wounded in a battle with the native tribes and died soon afterward.
What natives did Francisco Coronado meet?
The difficulty in making sense of the Coronado expedition is that he had practically no understanding of (or interest in) the native tribes, and his accounts are generally unreliable. Secondly, the tribes of that time (1540 to 1542) were not in the same places they were located in later periods - the Kiowas and Comanche had not yet arrived from further north, for example. Furthermore, different names were used to identify tribal groups than the names commonly used later.
He is said to have had a "Pawnee" guide called "El Turco" in Spanish, but this is extremely unlikely and El Turco was more probably a Caddo (later Spanish writers called the Caddo "Pawnees"). Another guide was a Wichita slave.
In Texas Coronado found the "Teya" tribe warring against the "Querechos"; both of these may have been Apache groups who at that time had no horses, but the Teyas may possibly have been a Caddoan tribe.
