It is a great book. One of the points in it is that Cortez easily convinced the slave tribes to support him against the cannibal Aztecs. You don’t hear much about that from the La Raza people.

I would not say it was easy. They had to be convinced he had a good chance of winning. He had to defeat the Tlaxacans militarily, before they joined him.

The Aztecs fought smart, hard, and courageously. Just because they were evil does not mean they were stupid or cowards. They were extremely effective warriors, who came up against superior weapons and technology, and a superior religion.

We should not discount the part that disease played, either.

The Mexicans were cannibals?

Maybe that’s why cutting off people’s heads is no big deal for them.

Build a wall. Build it high and wide.
