Posted by me in another Columbus thread :

No dark history. Europeans discovered an under utilized pair of continents peopled by races that mostly died when subjected to smallpox and other diseases. And we utilized those continents.

Yep, and the so called natives weren’t native to the Amercas either. They crossed the Bering straits before Columbus, but, that does not make them native. It makes them the first to get here.

Columbus started a movement of peoples to a continent that had primitive peoples and civilizations. And not much of either.

Losers lose.

Fact of life.
