Black Legend

Were the English colonizers crueler or more tolerant than the Spanish conquistadores?  What role did the Black Legend play?  Why did the Spanish tend to intermarry and settle with the Indian population, whereas the English tended to kill the Indians and drive them from their lands?  How did this pattern of interaction affect both Indian and White society?
