Then I headed West to continue my search for gold. I then sent Queen Isabella 500 slaves that I had captured but she returned them because she believed that they were Spainsh Subjects.
Six months later I returned to American in 1493. I then discovered that the Hispanic settlement was destroyed so I left my brothers, some of my crew men, and the slaves I captured to rebuild.
When I returned to Spain in 1502 I was cleared of the major charges but had to get rid of my noble titles. I then persuaded the Spanish to pay for one last trip and I went to Panama. I returned to Spain empty handed and died in 1506.
In may 1488 I sailed back West across the Atlantic and and I returned to see that the colonists rebelled against my brothers. The Taino population was left to only to a few hundred when it should of been thousands because I forced them to find gold for me, and made them work on plantations. I was then arrested and i returned to Spain.
