Furthermore, his account is often viewed as particularly edifying as it represents an example of what Bertrand Russel would call "evidence against interest". Some errors have certainly been found in his writings as they relate to population estimates and geographic details, however, nowhere can you find proof that events and depredations he describes were especially exaggerated. De Las Casas' "Short Account." is a primary historical document, not all of it is verifiable, but there is no evidence that it was "probably exaggerated" in terms of Spanish cruelty as this page, apparently written by revistionists, says. ![]() This page definitely has some POV elements. Kinda like other terms describing how other people think - it can get into very vague territory. Ie: Its an article about what they say others say of them. In other words, what is the thrust and it seems to be perhaps worthy of stubbing, rather than to be a nexus for material elsewhere. It seems to be unclear as to a general application of its meaning and a Spain-specific aspect. Cheers, - Infrogmation 18:26 (UTC) I think this belongs under the Spanish inquisition article. Googling for "leyenda negra" "leyenda blanca" and for "leyenda negra" "leyenda rosa" gets just slightly more hits for rosa in English "black legend" "white legend" got over 200 hits while "black legend" "pink legend" got only 2, suggesting that white legend may be the more common term in English- although FAIK correct accademic use may be otherwise. IIRC, in Guatemala in the 1970s I only heard it discussed as the "white legend". Another point I'd like to know more about is "white legend" or "pink legend". Certainly England, Spain, France, The Netherlands, and Portugal all had trafficed in the slave trade in the era. Still, the original was rather misleading, with no note that there had been slavery in Spanish America for some 2 centuries before that treaty, etc. Irrelevant to this article but I wanted to correct the misinformation. I forgot Spanish entry to the Seven Year's War. Alan Peakall 16:43 (UTC) Sorry for the error above. Try googling in the English language on "The Asiento". To the best of my recollection, between 1713 and Spain's entry into the American War of Independence, Britain and Spain were at peace except for the very brief War of the Quadruple Alliance. I believe that the reference is to the Asiento granted to the United Kingdom under the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). I removed the sentence "Britain was given the exclusive right to slave trading in Spanish America." pending explanation or source I know for much of the time the UK and Spain were rivals and even at war. I tried to clean this up and make it a bit more NPOV most of it seemed to be not a description of the topic but vehement rebuttal of it.
