Fuck the Aztecs, of course - but the Aztecs were not ALL OF THE SPANISH-CONQUERED AMERICAS

As bad as the Aztecs were… I’m not sure the Spanish were better
"Meet the new boss, same as the old..."
Well they weren't all that into human sacrifice, and I think actual slavery of native americans was banned so it was africans and asians that were slaves. How better or worse they were compared to their predecessors is hard to say for most people, due to lack of information and discussion ending at "colonialism bad" (it is) no further info needed.
Slavery was never banned by the Spanish. The natives made for poor slaves, hence the need to import Africans. But they were slaved throughout.
Edit: a word.
