Ignoring the evidence that the enslaved Taino to some extent integrated with the imported slaves, the slaves made up 90% of the population and likely an even higher percentage of the workforce. That should give them the best claim to the land


So once we reach 90% of the population we can rightfully claim the land? That's how it works? Let me take note for the future then.


I mean yeah? If your people spend a century integrating with the locals and working the land to the point where you make up the overwhelming majority of the population, it's pretty fair to say you have some right to it.


Well that is one way of achieving it, the other being killing the local population and get more settlers.


Doesn't every modern nation have the land owned by a tiny minority?
