During the first fifty years after the Conquest by the Spaniards many attempts were made by the Crown to establish good government in the newly acquired possessions, but it was to no avail. The fact is, that the men who came to us were untutored in the science of govern- ment. They knew how to rule, but they did not know how to govern. So for two centuries and more the European and the Creole exploited and ruled the land, and the Mestizos and the Indians, for the benefit of the mother country. ...The Indian was kept in a state of abject servitude; he was turned into a beast of burden. The Mestizo physiologically is nearer to the Causasian than to the Indian. Physically and morally he is superior to the Indian, and although of less active intelligence than the Euro- pean or the Creole, he is more strong-willed and more persevering and painstaking in all his undertakings. In the early days after the Conquest the Mestizo who happened to have one parent of lineage or rank was given every facility to improve and was placed on an equal footing with the Creoles, but as the years advanced, and the Mestizos became more and more numerous, the Spaniards began to look on them with distrust, and, fearing that too much education would give them certain power in the administration, they forbade them to occupy certain positions and prevented them from acquiring too much knowledge.
