History

In David Grann's "The Wager", why didn't the castaways want to be captured by the Spanish?

I was really surprised that they didn't want to land on Spanish territory while they were literally starving to death on their boat. I wouldn't have thought Spanish captivity would be that bad - I just assumed they'd be fed, in prison for a while, and returned to some British colony?
