Question
"This expedition was attended by many beneficial results; for the whole country was thereby tranquillized [sic], while it spread a vast idea of Cortes' justice and bravery throughout the whole of New Spain; so that every one feared him....Indeed Cortes' authority rose at once to so great a height, that the inhabitants came from the most distant parts to lay their disputes before him, particularly respecting the election of caziques [native leaders], right of tenure, and division of property and subjects. About this time thousands of people were carried off by the smallpox, and among them numbers of caziques; and Cortes, as though he had been lord of the whole country, appointed the new caziques, but made a point of nominating those who had the best claim."
