What was cortez's reaction to the aztec sacrafices?

The Spanish Arrival in 1519 changed how the Aztecs continued with their sacrificial ways. Hernan Cortes and the Spanish were glad when King Motecuhzoma sent representatives of the city to see Cortes, but were appalled at the sight of them sacrificing a small boy right there on the beach. After this, Cortes banned all sacrifice in Mesoamerica because it was gruesome and barbaric. Cortes made his way to Tenochtitlan with allied troops of enemy villagers from neighboring towns in the empire. Upon reaching Tenochtitlan and entering the capital for the first time, Cortes explicitly forbade the practice of human sacrifice to Aztec deities. This meant that after Cortez's arrival there almost was no mention of a single soul being sacrificed or eaten during the Spaniards initial stay in Tenochtitlan (Arens 1979)....to read on ...click the link...hope this helps
