"There are many who criticize Columbus for interfering with the indigenous cultures"

The leftists would have you believe that the New World was a paradise on earth. The truth is that Native Americans had every vice that the Europeans did including slavery, human sacrifices, cannibalism, murder, genocide and war.

Columbus recorded in his diary on the trip that one of his goals was to spread the gospel.
