This is Fort Mose, a Spanish fort in St. Augustine, Florida. In 1738, the governor of Spanish Florida, Manuel de Montiano, had the fort established as a free black settlement, the first to be legally sanctioned in what would become the territory of the United States. Mexico also offered freedom to runaway slaves.When are we going to realize that the brown Hispanics were the good guys throughout history, and their legacy was unfairly tarnished due to the Black Legend?

It was this integration policy that created Cuba, Brazil and Mexico. I would rather live in countries of racist segregationist Anglos than inclusive Ibercucks.

You know, a funny thing about this pan-hispanist anglo-obsessed persecution complex centered around the concept of a "black legend" is how anachronistic and historically illiterate it is. When you bother actually reading anything worthwhile, you will learn that the conquistadors and the way the iberian kingdoms colonized the Americas have literally always been highly controversial topics, even when the conquistadors were still alive and the conquest was actively ongoing. And the criticism back then came not from Spain's rival powers, but from the church and other internal actors. You had Bartolome de Las Casas going up to Hernan Cortez' Mexico City estate and angrily calling him a murderer to his face, you had Bernal Diaz de Castillo feeling the need to address accusations of unnecessary cruelty against the indians in his writings due to how common they were, and you had jesuits training and arming indians against the Spanish and Portuguese authorities in South America, something they were hated for.Likewise, the other powers did not ever feel the need to demonize conquistadors, as a matter of fact they idolized them to an extent. British writers in the 17th and 18th centuries were captivated by tales of the Conquest of Mexico, their significance heightened by ideas of european racial superiority that were becoming popular at the time. Likewise, during the mexican-american war, accounts of the Conquest of Mexico were a popular read amongst american soldiers and citizenz, and many Americans directly compared themselves to the conquistadors and Mexico to the Aztec Empire. You could argue that the anglosphere did the exact opposite of demonizing Spanish colonization, it made exalting them acceptable.
