Sex slavery
On his way back to Spain to stand trial for accusations of abuse of Spaniard colonists, Columbus wrote a letter to the nurse of the son of Ferdinand and Isabella, pleading his case. He wrote: ""Now that so much gold is found, a dispute arises as to which brings more profit, whether to go about robbing or to go to the mines. A hundred castellanos are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid.""
