How do you use roughshod in a sentence?

Use it describing the way someone rode something. "But Tait had none of Tillotson's gentleness, and he rode roughshod over the obstacles in his way." (That sentence is from yourdictionary.com by the way :) )

Explanation: The Aztecs were a fierce nation of warriors who believed in human sacrifice. They thought that sacrificing humans would keep the sun in the sky. For this reason, they were constantly fighting so that they would have enough captives to complete the necessary sacrifices. They were especially hard on the Indian tribes that surrounded them not only using them in the sacrifices but also as slaves. Secondly, the Aztecs demanded very high tributes from their people.The people themselves were not all that supportive of their leaders because of the heavy taxes. When Cortes arrived, and he was severely outnumbered, he kidnapped Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, so that the Aztec people had no real leadership to overcome Cortes. Two years after arriving, Cortes crushed the Aztecs.
