Abstract
This work analyses the reflection in the American colonies on the nature of peoples originating in America and their rights. Both in the Spanish and French and English possessions, the controversy in the early decades of the 16th century between the costume Las Casas and the Theradist Ginés de Sepúlveda was taken as a reference over the rational capacity of the Indian and how it should be integrated into the Christian greens. Local or regional circumstances determined how each nation proceeded in its civilising and evangelising activity.
