    To briefly sum things up:

    - Bartolomé de Las Casas saw the indigenous peoples as equals and believed they should not be treated as less. However, he still wanted to convert them to his religion to "free" them.

    - On the other hand, Cortés basically said the indigenous people were perfect for slavery because they lacked the "superior" qualities the Europeans had, and so he definitely thought they were inferior.
