Kills thousands of native Americans sold them forced them into slavery
And let people actually eat/cook them sometimes
This freaking guy is a lunatic and he didn't even discover America first and he didn't even know where he was in the first place
But yes let all the schools say he's a hero |

| Christopher Columbus connected Europe to the Americas. And Washington DC was named after Christopher Columbus. In fact many things related to America are named after him |

>implying
history class is constantly talking about how we slaughtered all the indians to death and destroyed everything they ever had ever and took the country from them
maybe they talk about columbus in a good light in younger grades, but not anymore most likely
i wouldnt imagine 3rd graders would be able to handle learning about a mass genocide yet, or else they'd teach the holocaust first

one of the first writers who were considered American writers He wrote a biography about columbus that was mostly false. False to make a juicy story. Stuff like how columbus sailed to prove that the earth was round. Everyone at the time and hundreds of years back already knew that the earth was round. I'm sure it's easy enough to tell kids that columbus sailed to prove that he could get to India by sailing west. |
