Problem: The Huilliches of Chiloé had already taken action against their Spanish lords back in 1600. In that year a group helped the Dutch corsair Baltazar de Cordes attack the Spanish settlement of Castro. Unlike in continental Chile, the indigenous population of Chiloé grew from 1700 onwards. By 1712 indigenous peoples made up around 50% of the population of the archipelago. The encomiendas of Chiloé were the largest of Chile and the administration of this form of labor more abusive than on the mainland. Moreover, the encomenderos did not fulfill their obligations; they did not register tribute nor salaries. Encomenderos often did not pay legal salaries or salaries at all and did not observe the "free time" of Indians in the encomienda laws. The encomienda activities in Chiloé included the Indians traveling to the continental coast to log for alerce wood. In retrospect, the Huilliches considered the abuses of José de Andrade a trigger of the rebellion, one of his abuses in particular: the whipping of Martín Antucan, an Indian he tied to an apple tree and to then flogged his genitals with nettles to be then covered in tow and set afire. According to testimonies gathered in 1725 José de Andrade judged wrongdoings himself, did not pay salaries and tortured those who did not work due to illness. His son is reported to have had similar behaviors and his majordomo kidnapped children to send them to continental Chile. During a meeting on January 26 of 1712 the Huilliches set February 10 as the date of their uprising. The objective of the rebellion was not the end of Spanish rule but vengeance for perceived injustices.

What was the Huilliches catalyst for rebelling?
Answer: abuses of José de Andrade

Problem: The Spanish policy evolved to make peace with the Chichimecas had four components: negotiation of peace agreements, welcoming conversion, instead of forcing conversion to Catholicism with missionaries, encouraging native allies to settle the frontier to serve as examples and role models, and providing food, other commodities, and tools to potentially hostile natives.  This established the pattern of Spanish policy for assimilating natives on their northern frontier.  The principal components of the policy of purchase for peace would continue for nearly three centuries and would not be as successful, as later threats from hostile natives such as Apaches and Comanches would demonstrate and as Spaniards would still value any means to riches and break treaties with natives. After the Chichimeca War, the Purchase for Peace Program gradually corrupted. Many Spanish Loyalist resented the defeat. The Spanish loyalist attempted enslavement for mining and agricultural labor, enforced harsh working conditions to the lower social classes, and implemented extremely oppressive political and economic systems against the native and mestizo populations of Mexico. The Catholic Church sustained the Mexican Inquisition torturing and killing hundreds of people who did not convert to Catholicism. The Mexican Inquisition was first abolished by decree in 1812. However, political tensions and chaos led to something of its return between 1813 and 1820. It was abolished in 1820. This societal tension during this period contributed to the initiation of the Mexican War of Independence; which started in 1810 and ended in 1821.

What were the parts of the Spanish policy of making peace with the Chichimecas?
Answer: negotiation of peace agreements

Problem: The Iroquois attacked the Neutral Nation in 1650. By the end of 1651, they had completely driven the tribe from traditional territory, killing or assimilating thousands. At the time, the Neutrals inhabited a territory ranging from the present-day Niagara Peninsula, westward to the Grand River valley. In 1654 the Iroquois attacked the Erie, but with less success. The war between the Erie and the Iroquois lasted for two years. By 1656 the Iroquois had almost completely destroyed the Erie confederacy, whose members refused to flee to the west. The Erie territory was located on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie and was estimated to have 12,000 members in 1650. Greatly outnumbered by the tribes they had subdued, the Iroquois had been able to achieve their victories through the use of firearms purchased from the Dutch.

Which tribe had more members, Iroquois or the Erie?
Answer:
the Erie
