There is a famous Spanish priest in the early 1500s who chronicled the colonial abuse of forced labor by natives and convinced a new young king to largely stop the system in Spanish America. There are speeches in the Senate opposing Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830, and a Supreme Court decision against it that Jackson ignored.

No doubt many more. They were minority voices, but there were voices. You oversimplify colonial history globally.
