He argues that Americas were not under Spanish control immediately after contact, and control was never complete in many places. Conquistadors perpetuated the myth of completion by exaggerating their success in colonization to appease royal sponsors. In reality, even in areas of successful colonization, natives maintained local political autonomy. Furthermore, communication did not affect crucial events of the Conquest because, while translation did befuddle much communication between Spaniards and natives, the two sides came to understand each other’s intentions. Finally, contrary to the myth of native desolation, natives did not typically resign to their fates during Conquest, and their cultures were not decimated.

In 1492 Spain sponsored Christopher Columbus in his effort to find a new route to China. Though his expedition failed to find a new trade route to Asia, but it did locate a continent that they had no prior knowledge of.

Merrell’s “The Indians’ New World,” the initial encounters and relationships between various Native American tribes and Europeans and their African American slaves are explained; based on Merrell’s argument that after the arrival of Europeans to North America in 1492, not only would the Europeans’ lives drastically change, but a new world would be created for the Native Americans’ as their communities and lifestyles slowly intertwined for better or worse. Examples of these changes include: “deadly bacteria, material riches, and [invading] alien people.” (Merrell 53)

“Everyone has a moment in history which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person "the world today" or "life" or "reality" he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever.” Though some disagree, a person 's’ past affects their future no matter how much they attempt to erase it.

Identity formation is one of the most fundamental tasks in life span development, particularly for adolescence and emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000; Erikson, 1968). Since its conception in Erikson’s ego psychoanalytic theory, a growing literature and significant advances have been made in identity development research (Schwartz, Zamboanga, Luyckx, Meca, & Ritchie, 2013).

In the 16th Century, Spain became one of the European forces to reckon with. To expand even further globally, Spanish conquistadors were sent abroad to discover lands, riches, and North America and its civilizations. When the Spanish and Native American groups met one another, they judged each other, as they were both unfamiliar with the people that stood before them. The Native American and Spanish views and opinions of one another are more similar than different because when meeting and getting to know each other, neither the Spaniards nor the Native Americans saw the other group of people as human. Both groups of people thought of one another as barbaric monsters and were confused and amazed by each other’s cultures.
