Deporting Granadan Moriscos made other Morisco communities more assertive

Evidence

We can see that what has happened is that whereas under the old dispensation the ´Avila authorities could rely on the members of the former Morisco community to know their place, be subservient, and pay special taxes, after the newcomers had arrived, Moriscos began to be assertive and difficult to deal with. The effects of the deportation of the Granadans was to change attitudes everywhere. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1134
