they may have been here, but they were primitive savages. Columbus brought civilization to America.

Columbus' voyage brought barbarism to the civilizations of the Americans.

The lust for god and gold, and the murder and destruction they left behind, showed the conquistadors for the barbarians that they were.

Civilization did not arrive until a couple of centuries later.

At least the Americas were spared the Spanish Inquisition. Or is that the "civilization" you were referring to?

Unfortunately, the Inquisition spread to the Americas too.

I see you’ve bought into the propaganda about the Spanish Inquisition. I won’t bother to give any links refuting it since you probably wouldn’t read them anyway. There are many threads about it on FR if you care to search.
