There's multiple reasons as to why Columbus was on the opinion that the people on the island he discovered would be good servants. Some of the reasons are:
- Peaceful people with good nature; the people he encountered were peaceful, were treating them well, and showed good personalities to the Europeans.
- Uncivilized; this people were living a primitive life, had no writing system, developed architecture, or modern weapons.
- Badly organized; the organization among this people was on a primitive level, there were not institutions, economic or military organizations.
