A strong oppression soon commenced as Spain sought to take what it could from the islands' natural resources; however, when it was learned that little gold, silver or other valuable trading commodities were availed, the grip of control gradually loosened.

ever so distinctly laid out the coordinates so that no one - absolutely no one - could be mistaken of just how much territory was involved. "All that Territory
