- Remarks
In 1680, after 100 years of Spanish colonization, the Pueblo peoples of New Mexico staged the largest successful Indian rebellion in North American history. Rejecting all things European, they drove Spanish settlers, soldiers and missionaries south, dug up European plants, released horses and sheep, and symbolically washed their baptisms off in the Rio Grande. Twelve years went by before the Spanish were able to forcibly reclaim the region.
