Columbus was a mediocre explorer at best. The guy that opened up the entire western hemisphere to civilization was mediocre? Few sailors today would venture to sail his three crude 15th century "ships" across Lake Erie. He was an incredibly intellectual merchant who studied the east Atlantic climate, currents and bet big on finding land to the west.

I don't care for these "Dear Son / Dad" type formats. But this one is on the mark.

And there is pretty good evidence that THEY slaughtered other that they found here before them, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Son: "Dad, why does America celebrate Columbus Day?"
Dad: "America doesn't, son. It only seems like it because so many people work for the USPS."
Son: "Thanks Dad! You da man.".

"Of course, no one would call him a traitor for giving our nuclear technology, super computers to make use of it, and advanced missile guidance systems to Communist China for campaign cash. Nah, nothing traitorous there."
Clinton should have been hanged for this!

He thought the Indians were attractive people. He could have been culturist, but he doesn't seem to have been very racist, especially compared to some of his contemporaries.
