I don't know what's the story with the Africans, but Jesuits did great things for the Indians. Spanish soldiers even joined the Jesuit order to provide the Indians with military training (like Robert Deniro in "The Mission"), to protect them from the Portuguese slave traders. Afterwards, those Indians were among the first elite troops of the American continent, the "Granaderos a caballo", summoned to fight for Argentina during the war of independence.

But on the other hand Amerindians were not protected by christianity in the USA , (it was miaou's map topic) as they were in Spanish America , two cases.
