 The
Indians increasingly fought for land rights, but even after
law suits they were not granted rights. Because the Indians
were infuriated by the exploitation of their land, they made
it very difficult for the textile industry to have a stable
labor population.
The industry suggested reforms in 1620 that would grant the
Indians the land that had been acquired by the Spaniards. This
reform never happened. The exploitation continued as
Indian lands became alienated due to a great population
decline. |
