“Nothing Remained of the Houses”: Indigenous American Resistance to Columbus’ First Settlement in the Americas

From pages 79 and 88 of the AP World History Course and Exam Description

This source can help students understand how resistance to the Spanish began almost as soon as the Spanish arrived.
