Columbus's descriptions of the Caribbean islands reflected Spain's motivations for sending him there as he emphasized the rich resources and potential for colonization and conversion of the native inhabitants. If Columbus had complete freedom to explore without specific goals, his observations may have focused more on the natural features and diversity of the islands. This could have led to a slower colonization process by Spain and potentially altered the course of history, possibly affecting the establishment of colonies and the transatlantic slave trade.
