concern about the news received in July and September of the prior year about uprisings by enslaved blacks in La Espa\u00f1ola, approved a decision by the President of the <\/span><i><span

president with only one fellow judge to work with.\u00a0 And since, according to Zuazo, as president he did not intervene in determining the criminal cases involving punishment by death or mutilation, and the local ordinances prevented him from acting in the judging of appeals, he had requested approval from the king of his initiative for an additional judge. The monarch responded positively and announced that he would be issuing a <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">c\u00e9dula<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> on the matter to regulate similar situations in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Further ahead in his communication, the king explicitly mentioned having been informed of \u201cIndians and Blacks\u201d captured for crimes and sentenced to death in La Espa\u00f1ola had been presenting appeals to these sentences that had to be submitted to the authorities of higher judicial rank in Castille, thus generating a \u201cdelay\u201d from which \u201csome inconveniences may stem.\u201d The king announced that he and his advisors had decided to suspend the issuing of those appeals and to order for the <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Audiencia<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> itself to locally review them and to issue final sentences on them.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As indicated elsewhere in this website, this document is a clear indication that, besides rebelling against the Spanish colonizers in the late 1530s in La Espa\u00f1ola, a number of blacks were also doing their best to resist the power of the settlers by utilizing in their favor the colonial legal and judicial system under which they were to be processed once accused of those rebellions, in this case through the submission \u2013while it was politically accepted&#8211; of judicial appeals that would postpone the final decision on their cases at least until metropolitan judicial authorities received their records and issued sentences about them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The scholarship about the lives of black people in subsequent centuries of the colonial world of the Americas has pointed out the active efforts of blacks to use in their favor or self-protection the colonial legal system within which they were constrained.\u00a0 This document from the 1530s tells us that this resistance practice had been initiated early on in the colonial process by their ancestors and predecessors in La Espa\u00f1ola.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manuscript Transcription Translation Commentary Date:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 1537, February 3.\u00a0 Valladolid, SpainTheme: \u00a0In the late 1530s the Spanish Crown tried to expedite the application of the death penalty against\u00a0the Blacks that were rebelling in La Espa\u00f1olaSource:\u00a0PARES, Portal de Archivos Espa\u00f1oles&#8211;Archivo General de Indias, SANTO_ DOMINGO,\u00a0868, L.1,F.33R-34V\u00a0 This browser does not support PDFs.
