Juan de Oñate
I think Juan de Oñate is a hero. Because his father is a mighty man. His ancestors to victory in the battle. They won the medal of honor family. He is an explorer. He conquered territory. Catholicism in 1595 is the main purpose because they hope to have more and more people join into the Catholicism church. A variety of reasons delayed, postponed for a year began. He developed more than 600 miles of roads. This is a century of leap. His status and wealth are climb up. Some explorers are still found in the new colony. Juan de Oñate to seek wealth by many difficulties but he still overcome including cold weather and food supply. Because land scarcity have no money to pay for Indian wages only Juan de Oñate followed by some sincere followers.
Why I take for he is a hero. Because In 1598 years He leaves his country. And he makes long land for other people. It is very huge project. But he satisfactory completion of this project. In 1598years Juan de Oñate begins warfare. Almost hundreds Indian people died. And hundreds people survive. Juan de Oñate punish severely Acoma’s people.
Juan de Oñate likes investigate many places. He wants to find many wealth and lands. Maybe he wants to change his life and his country’s bad parts. For example like no enough money and enough lands and always have war. Nobody likes this things happen. He can change. He occupy Spain. He thanks for god. They celebrate this festival. Be exemplified by Juan de Oñate will easy to overcome resistance in he conquered territory. He told the others Adhere to the pursuit of his dream never give up to success. This is important words. Somebody listen to this words will have courage to do difficulty things.
He Catholicism was introduced into India. India is very chaos. Every two or three days have war. Perhaps he supposes make them safely. If Indians have a master in heart they will don’t afraid of some terror things. Because he has himself soul. I think Juan de Oñate changes Indians more life. Juan de Oñate uses a small army defeat Spain’s powerful army. Juan de Oñate capture all the kingdom. Juan de Oñate in his letter write about everyone will make mistakes. But if you know you make many bad things. You must be put right it. Don’t do this things again.
He will bring sinner committed wrong under control. And many children born. Them parents disobey god and advocate. Juan de Oñate to solve this things happen. He finished conquer New Spain in 1595 years. They want to figure out New Mexico together. They start them plan for conquer another city. Why the Spanish scouters very like to try find wealth and flourishing colony? Because Spanish royal family have difficult to continue. The Spanish scouters want to help royal family. They want to try to find ponderable wealth or flourishing colony give royal family. After 1600 years New Mexico’s environment is degradation. Although he prey killed very cruel perhaps killed many innocent people. But I think he still has a heroic in some ways. Such as he start Spanish colony. Juan de Oñate is leading military campaigns against the Chichimec Indians and have start his early career prospecting for silver, also aid the establishment of missions for New Spain. In 1595 years, Spanish king agree of Juan de Oñate a contract to settle New Mexico, after receiving reports from the Franciscans about their growing missionary work in the area. The place are 600 miles, caravans of colonies moved to here. During the time, Juan de Oñate’s man explored some places. In 1606 years Spanish king summoned Juan de Oñate resigned as governor in 1607. He remain in New Mexico witness the establishment of the new capital at Santa Fe. The king decide to continue his financial support of the colony, and appoint a new governor in 1608, and Juan de Oñate is once again call back to Mexico City.
However, mutiny, desertion, and dissent plagued the New Spanish colony when the Spanish fail to find riches. Juan de Oñate dealt with a firm hand. In 1598 years, Spain has war. When the fighting end, several hundred Indians were dead, and hundreds of surviving Acomas are holding prisoner and taking to Santa Doming Pueblo to stand trial.
Juan de Oñate spend much of the rest of his life trying to clear his name, with some evident success. Eventually he go to Span, where the king assign him to the position of mining inspector. He died in Spain in 1626 years.
I think everyone will slip a cog but you also do good deed. Don’t worry about you in other people’s hurt is what. Someone think you are a hero someone think you are a villain or someone think you are both or neither. You just do yourself.
