I feel like when comparing modern moral attitudes to this time you've been harsh to Spanish, as you should be, but not harsh to many Natives who performed human sacrifices (which you mentioned without much judgement, it seems to me) and regurarly engaged in horrible warfare. Imagine if there was a country today that killed childremn for a good harvest. I imagine it would be sanctioned and probably invaded.
